Emma isBoat International US Edition’s

production editor. She spent three

years living at sea – and has written

two books about her onboard

travels – but this month she

experiences the Caribbean from

land, staying at the historic

Jamaica Inn (page 139).

What’s your abiding memory

of your stay at Jamaica Inn?

The atmosphere is so

chilled and friendly

Nachos (made from plantain and

cassava) and a Red Stripe

Where did you drift?

To my own beachside veranda

Give us some local know-how...

Take a trip into the Blue Mountains

London-based photographer and television

commercial director Tomo shoots for

fashion magazines such as GQ, L’Officiel

Hommes Italia, Mr Porter, L’Uomo Vogue and

Harper’s Bazaar. This month he touched

down in Miami for our fashion story.

What was the inspiration for the shoot?

The idea was to create an aviation-inspired

story that would look real and believable

and to move away from an expected

and posed look

What were your favorite pieces?

The Dunhill coat looked amazing

Miami – love or hate?

Love. Sun, heat and sea everywhere!

What is your flying style?

Traveling light (not often possible)

Boat or plane?

Boat. I love the sea

Boat owner and constant host

Debra knows a thing or two about

manners. This holiday season we

asked her to write the definitive

guide for guests on how to

behave on board – and secure

that coveted return invitation

(page 126).

about being a host?

Sharing and storing precious

memories with friends and family

Best gift ever?

A case of Petrus

Pet guest peeve?

Bad manners
