Slumming it on a super yacht

So I was invited to go and spend four days on a super yacht off the coast of Croatia.  Moi? Absolument!

Here is said super yacht - it's a 112 foot Westport design built in Seattle called Integrity.  It has four cabins, each with their own en-suite, and three bars, all fully stocked. Happy much?!

Let me show you around. This is the top bridge and that large protuberance in the foreground is actually a spa pool.

And behind that the perfect spot for sunbathing. With kayaks just in case one feels like doing some exercise. Never happened...

Meet the crew - there's a permanent crew of three. From l-r: Andy (deckhand, from Wanganui), Dawn (chef, Canadian, and partner of Brendan), Jennifer (English lass, hostess/maid, temporary for the 'summer season'), and Brendan (not pictured but top Irish guy) is the captain who you can see in the photo above on the top bridge.

And here's me with the owner, Bill, a truly generous Kiwi bloke and a good friend of my publishing mate Steve (hence the invite), and who likes sharing his big boy's toys. Bless that man!
