I'm not sure how many of you all are familiar with The Yacht Week. Those that aren't, shame on you - this may have been the most fun that I've had in a really long time. In summary, The Yacht Week (TYW) brings together people from all across the world for a week long sailing trip. They have trips in multiple locations, we were on the North Route in Croatia. Now, I've been to Croatia before, but we spent the majority of our time in Dubrovnik and on the island of Hvar, so being able to explore other areas in Croatia was a lot of fun, as the country is so beautiful.
I will definitely attempt to go on one of these trips again, and suggest that you all consider it as well - for the experience, it is way more than affordable and I've met some great friends that I hope to keep in touch with going forward.
There were a few things that I learned on the trip that I'd like to share with you:
(1) Being on a trip with 150+ people who are all relatively like minded is a nice change of pace
(2) Do NOT attempt to use the restroom when the sails are up and it's incredibly windy, you will fall down
(3) I bruise much easier than I thought I did
(4) I still like the Kuna/Dollar exchange ratio, 4 years later
(5)Misquitos, even in Croatia, still love me
(6) Italians like their Speedos...a lot
(7) Even Captain Morgan can't pass up a vodka filled Watermelon
(8) Europeans do not seem to know where Ohio or Arkansas are and thus saying you're from NYC is much easier to explain
(9) A lot of people have recently quit their jobs to travel
(10) Never believe historical facts told to you by Skipper Neil, likely they are false
