Yacht Week, Croatia : Day Five

Sadly day four got lost in a sea of champagne and suntan lotion.
Thankfully there are still 3 more days of Yacht Week bliss to make up for it!
Yesterday we met G & O from London, so scooped them up and kept them hostage on our boat.
I think we would make excellent Pirates.






We set sail after a little post breakfast swim.
Feeling a little crisp under the midday sun, we followed Skipper's orders and abandoned ship.
He threw a rope overboard and sailed away.
Giggling and spluttering we grabbed hold of the rope and slipped through the wake.



While this may sound deliciously refreshing, in fact you tend to end up with your bikini around your ankles and a belly full of salt water.
Fun, but not for the faint hearted!


At lunch we gorged ourselves on seabass, figs, calamari, cheese, tuna & octopus salad.








Then a little afternoon-wine-infused snooze on deck was just what the doctor ordered.










Having had a swim and a few cold glasses of wine, we decided it was time to get the party started.


Why yes that is a hollowed out pineapple and a bottle of iced vodka.
Don't they just make the most adorable (delicious) couple?








We spent the afternoon lapping up the sun and making friends from all over the world.
After a supper of grilled lobster, grouper and calamari, we danced on table tops and sang until our voices gave out.
They say "Yacht week DJs stop when the last person leaves the dance floor"... we kept them going all night, baby!

    3. Anon, what on earth is the point in saying that!? TBH I don't actually think she is much skinnier, plus it sounds like you're trying to imply Rose is fat. I highly doubt she gives a shiz as she's currently living it up on a boat but what about her readers? I have no doubt lots of young women read this blog who would kill for either of these girls' figures. So sick of women's bodies being dissected for their every bump and curve. If you're jealous do it quietly. Bitter isn't hot.

      Rosie is a bit fat, let's be honest. It's hardly shocking seeing as she eats slutty brownies and pancakes CONSTANTLY.
      It's not gross fat, but if you took her to bed everything would be a bit soft whereas valentina would be hard and toned like a model.
      Rosie could be skinny but she'd have to lay off all that food she blogs.
      Just being honest.

    7. Anon, do you have mental health problems?

    8. If you think Rosie is "fat" then you clearly have no idea what you're talking about.

    9. Guys, let's just nip this in the bud right now.
      Yes, Valentina is skinnier than I am. She's beautiful and gorgeous and if she wasn't so lovely I would totally hate her!
      I am not model skinny and I am totally ok with that! I'd rather eat what I like and buy a bigger pair of jeans.
      I think fashion houses and magazines just perpetuate the myth that all women want to look like androgynous little girls (and they are little girls, some of them just 13!) I'm quite happy the way I am and if you don't like it... it makes absolutely no difference to me!
      Thankyou to everyone standing up for me, but honestly I think Anon is just trolling and looking for attention.
      Ignore them and they'll go away.

    15. Anonymous, why don't you stop being anonymous and post a picture of yourself? I'd put quite a lot of money on you being a vile little keyboard warrier without much of a life, certainly no joy or happiness in your weird half-life, so maybe that is why you try to detract from others happiness. I have never wished I had a different body, I wouldn't call myself fat but I'm nowhere near as skinny as Rose. I HATE the internet for providing us with these mindless comments, but I love it for the hate they get back.

      Why are people so stupid when it comes to trolls. The comment has so meaning or value by replying to it you're just giving them attention they don't even deserve. You can attempt to deride this person all you want by splurging all over the comment and going "zomg anon u soooooo dumb!!11" or you can make them look like a sad tool where every single person completely ignored their comment.

      Nothing more hilarious than someone making an idiotic comment and being completely passed over or having to reply to a second time in a desperate attempt to get attention.

    19. Nothing sadder that an imperfect human being criticizing imperfect human beings that don't give a s#!t about your comments. Your comments where very rude and I wouldn't listen to someone like you who likes hurting people online for you own entertainment. Know your place in life, stop being lame, stop being a bully and find a better hobby.

    20. There's nothing sadder than an imperfect human being criticizing imperfect human beings who don't give a s#1t about you or what you have to say. You don't want people to post after you? than don't post anything at all! people don't like bullies, specially lame ones that post rude comments online in an anonymous way, like a rats. This is not your first time doing it and won't b e your last time either, but I encourage you to find a more fulfilling hobby than criticizing skinny girls online, for people like you is that a lot of girls end up dead. Next time be more careful with what you say and people won't get as angry as I was when I read your stupid comments, you are definitely an immature person, doesn't matter if you are 50 or 18, you don't understand your purpose in this life if this is what you are doing. Find better things to do! Both girls are beautiful in their own ways!

    2. they're def just trying to get a reaction because you have to be either blind, or a complete moron to use the word 'fat'. slim and curvy is pretty much the ideal isn't it? best of both and all that jazz.

    I have been going out with my girlfriend for 5 months now and she said she is ready to go all the way. It's our first time and I'm really excited because, to be honest, I've waited a loonnng time!
    But the question is....where do we go?? Can you tell me some cool ideas? I don't want to do it at my house or her's because our parents might come in or somehting! She looks so similar to you actually!

    Actually discussed some one even anyone could call Rosie, anyone 'fat'. I am sorry but are you using a wide screen computer? as from what I can see the girl is 100% perfect. Any one with a body like Rosie is lucky very lucky!! OMG who cares if she eats slutty brownies, guess what she is human and enjoys having a life maybe they need to try it ;-)

    Keep up the good work chick- I love your blog and lovely kind spirit!! Always inspiring to look up to.

    Hi Rose,

    You look stunning here and so healthy, not toooooo skinny or certainly not FAT!
    I have read your anti diet and in 3 weeks lost 6 pounds but I've hit a block. I just find it hard sometimes to keep motivated! I want to loose 6 more pounds.
    I know that different people loose weight at different levels and weigh different weights but how fast did you loose weight? I'm so sorry if that is too personal!
    I love your blog!

    Thanks, xx

    I've been following the anti-diet and have lost a few pounds, which I'm delighted about - I also managed to kick my six a day diet coke habit :)

    Do you have any ideas for packed lunches for taking to work or University?

      Hello,

      I'm not Rose but I calculated your BMI is 21.5 (between 18.5 and 24.9 is in the healthy range) so you are definitely not overweight! Although it also all depends on your frame size/muscle mass etc!

      If I were you, I would focus on being healthy. Follow Rose's anti-diet (80% healthy/20% indulgent), her hunger scale and also try to exercise daily (you don't need to overdo it - just keep fit) - even if it's just going for a 20 minute walk. Also, try not to drink anything apart from water/green tea/peppermint tea as you don't want to drink your calories or chemicals which will slow your metabolism down.

      If you follow all of this and you stay the same, then you are definitely at your "natural" weight and if you lose some then you will probably plateau off at your "natural" weight. Don't deprive yourself of treat, don't starve yourself and you will be healthy and it will be sustainable!

    So, I was reading this post while eating and decided that you would LOVE what I'm eating right now. You've probably made it anyways being the food novice you are. But, in Muncie, Indiana there's a coffee shop called The Cup (coffee, homemade bagels/cream cheese, etc.) There's a sandwich called the Margarita that is freakin great and I've made it. So here you go!
    1) Toasted bagel (there's is called the everything (poppy seeds/sesame seeds/salt/onion?) but pick your own
    2) Roasted tomato slices
    3) Fresh spinach tossed in olive oil
    4) Cream cheese (whatever tickles your fancy)
    And, voila! Greatness. (I'd add avocado, too)
    Random post, I know. But I think you'd like it!
