My yacht decided on renting ATVs and rode all around the island. We found a little secret beach and had a delicious lunch. Look at how clear that water is! https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5fbc2f6180b6e80f8637a69d/t/5ff3b9547d47bb7ab01d59a6/1609808272018/FB_IMG_1609806190340-01.jpeg Blog - The Yacht Week Greece 2019 Recap Other Regatta Day costumes that I’ve seen are Tiger King, inflatable T-rex’s, and 80’s spandex workout. But costumes don’t have to be elaborate to be great. I saw one Yacht Week boat dress up as In-N-Out employees, and I absolutely love that idea. It’s really all about the energy you bring to the table (or rather, yacht). https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5fbc2f6180b6e80f8637a69d/t/5ff35671b6dc0c1e61113200/1609885923243/20210104_123230.jpg Blog - The Yacht Week Greece 2019 Recap Technically a photo from the beginning of the week - you can tell because our tans haven’t settled in yet. But it was too cute of a picture not to include.

Look at everyone all cute and glowing. Who needs a filter when you have golden hour sun. DAMN YOU TEQUILA! https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5fbc2f6180b6e80f8637a69d/t/5ff28fd817af6f5d19763d7f/1609732059532/20210103_223636.jpg Blog - The Yacht Week Greece 2019 Recap https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5fbc2f6180b6e80f8637a69d/t/5ff3b38ec2ef5e3c22d2b9bc/1609808260705/FB_IMG_1609806178887.jpg Blog - The Yacht Week Greece 2019 Recap For our costume, our crew went with reverse gender Disney characters. Our guys were Jasmine, Elsa, Moana, and Ariel. The girls were Aladdin, Woody, Gaston, King Triton, and Winnie the Pooh. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5fbc2f6180b6e80f8637a69d/t/5ff267cdfc8ee327dd49ac12/1609721826061/20190609_060328.jpg Blog - The Yacht Week Greece 2019 Recap I recommend arriving a day or two before. Since Day 1 is on a Friday, hopefully flying in mid-week will be cheaper. We had already been in Athens for a few days for my best friend’s wedding, and got a chance to explore the city. Though some people don’t vibe with Athens, I definitely think it’s worth giving some of your time to. There’s a lot of amazing food, and of course, you can’t leave without visiting the Parthenon. The first day is spent checking-in, meeting your skipper and hostess, grocery shopping, and settling in to your boat. We finished off the night with a welcome dinner and party. The sunsets in Greece are unreal. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5fbc2f6180b6e80f8637a69d/t/5fcd48c9920f47545ba1f597/1609885868889/FB_IMG_1607211613845.jpg Blog - The Yacht Week Greece 2019 Recap This was the last time we were in the water.

We ordered a couple of drinks, and took a cat nap on the beach. We rode our ATVs back to the rental shop and did some shopping in the town center. Later that evening we partied at Hono&Lulu.

All it does is translates your domestic driver’s license into another country’s language and is good for a year. Some places don’t require it, but for $20, it’s good to have. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5fbc2f6180b6e80f8637a69d/t/5ff4e1a58ffb30707df34969/1609884098089/received_2008400202604957-01.jpeg Blog - The Yacht Week Greece 2019 Recap https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5fbc2f6180b6e80f8637a69d/5ff3abd5775c5727d36533b5/5ff3ac013b502e082e2b4178/1609804821651/DJI_0851.jpg Blog - The Yacht Week Greece 2019 Recap https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5fbc2f6180b6e80f8637a69d/5ff3abd5775c5727d36533b5/5ff3abf1775c5727d3653819/1609814010438/DJI_0860+%281%29.jpg Blog - The Yacht Week Greece 2019 Recap https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5fbc2f6180b6e80f8637a69d/5ff3abd5775c5727d36533b5/5ff3abd6c2ef5e3c22d15616/1609804833879/20210103_223603.jpg Blog - The Yacht Week Greece 2019 Recap https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5fbc2f6180b6e80f8637a69d/t/5fcd465af94b6402b227d2d7/1609811943500/20190608_180018.jpg Blog - The Yacht Week Greece 2019 Recap https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5fbc2f6180b6e80f8637a69d/t/5ff3b2e2775c5727d3667bc8/1609885877387/FB_IMG_1609728766601.jpg Blog - The Yacht Week Greece 2019 Recap Time to wash off all that salt water (Photo taken by The Yacht Week) https://www.anadventureandahalf.com/blog/bby1p2mmr9607fanofrdsk2yqegup3 monthly 0.5 2021-01-16 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5fbc2f6180b6e80f8637a69d/t/5fe5482dd85eb525300cde09/1608861773634/20190613_101052.jpg Blog - A Near Complete Guide to Planning and Budgeting for The Yacht Week - What about a Hostess?

Our hostess took care of all of the food shopping, and left drinks and snacks up to us. Grocery shopping was quite hectic and felt like an episode of Supermarket Sweep! But instead of piling a bunch of turkeys into our carts, we loaded up on beers and chasers. We literally had 4 of these huge carts filled with stuff. We spent ~$1200 on groceries, drinks, and beers + another $300 on tequila, so in total $1500. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5fbc2f6180b6e80f8637a69d/t/5ffde06f62e01576616ca70d/1610473592341/Screen+Shot+2021-01-12+at+12.45.12+PM.png Blog - A Near Complete Guide to Planning and Budgeting for The Yacht Week https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5fbc2f6180b6e80f8637a69d/t/5fcd3fcf9aa2de0c64a03cbe/1607286745219/20190609_140428.jpg Blog - A Near Complete Guide to Planning and Budgeting for The Yacht Week https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5fbc2f6180b6e80f8637a69d/t/5ff1b86c6ed34a7367723164/1609692593088/lux+cat4.png Blog - A Near Complete Guide to Planning and Budgeting for The Yacht Week https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5fbc2f6180b6e80f8637a69d/t/5ff1bacadac66e1e16f4aa58/1609692614905/classic+cat4.png Blog - A Near Complete Guide to Planning and Budgeting for The Yacht Week Pssst - If you take out the hostess in this option, it’s actually the same price as the monohull at $1040/person. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5fbc2f6180b6e80f8637a69d/t/5ffba3169680005fb3495979/1610326814548/IMG-20190612-WA0008.jpg Blog - A Near Complete Guide to Planning and Budgeting for The Yacht Week https://www.anadventureandahalf.com/blog/everythingiateinjapan monthly 0.5 2021-02-22 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5fbc2f6180b6e80f8637a69d/t/5fcfd77cf17429462e70858a/1607233983440/20191029_205047.jpg Blog - Everything I Ate in Japan - And like with every meal I eat, I gotta end it on a sweet note.

Given how small many ramen shops are, it doesn’t make sense, and honestly feels a little rude, to take up two seats and eat only one bowl. No matter how hearty and filling the meal may be, don’t go into a tiny and packed ramen joint and ask to share one bowl.

So if you’re like me, and you think Tiger Sugar could be taken down a notch or ten, you’ll love Sin an ju.

Not just me right? It’s the episode where Homer eats a poisonous piece of blowfish and only has 24 hours left to live. That episode aired in 1991, and that has been my impression of fugu fish for the last 20 years. Though the fugu fish is certainly poisonous, eating it in Japan is actually pretty safe. One has to be trained, tested, and certified in order to fillet fugu in Japan. So of course when the opportunity presented itself, we, once again YOLO’ed. My thoughts on it … meh. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5fbc2f6180b6e80f8637a69d/5fcfd77cf17429462e708555/5fcfd77cf17429462e708558/1606958851768/kuromon_kaidouya3.jpg Blog - Everything I Ate in Japan https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5fbc2f6180b6e80f8637a69d/5fcfd77cf17429462e708555/5fcfd77cf17429462e708556/1606958836677/kuromon_kaidouya1.jpg Blog - Everything I Ate in Japan https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5fbc2f6180b6e80f8637a69d/t/5fcfd77cf17429462e70856c/1606960474002/20191101_111118.jpg Blog - Everything I Ate in Japan - Okonomikyaki “Okonomi” = what you like, “yaki” = grilled.
