I moved to the Virgin Islands almost 30 years ago and worked as a hotel pastry chef and as a chef on charter boats. Sailing and baking are my passion. I pursued my baking passion first, opening Baked in the Sun in Cruz Bay in 2000. It was a great 10 years of baking for friends, family and visitors on St John. In 2010 I sold the bakery to 2 of the employees and prepared for the next adventure, a sail around the world! We left in 2012 myself, my husband David and our then 6 year old son Zack onboard our 44 foot sailboat “Flour Girl “It was an amazing 5 year adventure, we visited many countries, made amazing friends along the way, and had the adventure of a lifetime. We sailed back into Cruz Bay on June 6th 2017 and it was still the most beautiful and magical place we had ever been! There was a little blip there in September and we lost our sailboat “Flour Girl”. But, life goes on, and we purchased Sailors Cottage and we spend our days living the adventure that is St John.
