We are called Grotty Yachties. This is whether we frequent resorts or not. That doesn’t seem very fair.

Every now and again we do get ourselves some luxury and anchor next to a resort. Some resorts are yachty friendly and some are not.

The ones who aren’t try and charge you for anchoring and make you feel very grotty. Or they won’t even let you in.

The ones who are yachty friendly welcome us as if we were a guest in their resort. This is quite generous because all we really do is drink during happy hour, use their internet and leave our rubbish.

Some of the boats in our rally seem to anchor and eat at resorts all the time. Even if we could afford to do this we don’t really want to hang out with just yachties all the time. It’s a wonderful treat though. I love that crisp and uplifting feeling of walking into a restaurant after a week at sea.

This video was taken at the brand new Nanuya Resort in the Blue Lagoon area, where the Brooke Sheilds movie was shot. We couldn’t actually determine exactly where the movie was shot because everyone was claiming it.

Blue Lagoon Cruises have this day area at the end of the island where we are allowed to walk around when there isn’t a cruise boat in. We thought we’d see more cruise boats than we did.

Oh, and the best thing about resorts? Sitting on a real toilet and using as much toilet paper as you want. THAT is true luxury.
