𝘽𝙚𝙡𝙤𝙬 𝘿𝙚𝙘𝙠 𝙘𝙝𝙖𝙧𝙩𝙚𝙧 𝙜𝙪𝙚𝙨𝙩𝙨; “𝙒𝙝𝙖𝙩’𝙨 𝙞𝙣 𝙞𝙩 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙢?”
This is one of the topics explored by Marina Hyde and Richard Osman in today’s Q&A edition of the excellent podcast, ‘The Rest Is Entertainment’.
A listener posed the question, “Apart from the draw of being on TV, what is in it for the guests to book a yacht charter on Below Deck? Do they get a discount for possibly being portrayed as a nuisance and TV crew swarming all over the boat?”
Listen to the 5-minute segment here, with highly entertaining insights into the making of Below Deck and why anyone would be mad enough to sign up, let alone pay for the privilege!

ESTELA’s END OF SEASON PARTY IS THIS FRIDAY - AND YOU`RE INVITED!
The date is Friday 4th October from 18:30h `til late, and the place is *DiQue, Port Adriano*
The fancy dress theme is…
Poseidon’s Underwater Kingdom
In keeping with the Greek theme of this year’s edition of ‘The Y Yachting Itineraries’, we are celebrating the god of the sea, Poseidon, aka Neptune.
Many of you will long have ‘crossed the line’ and been initiated into the court of King Neptune, but this night we shall all enter as Pollywogs and emerge as Shellbacks!
Raid your ‘Davy Jones’ locker and rustle up any old subaquatic costume. Come as the mythical kraken, a mermaid, Aquaman, Jaws (yes, we know the shark’s name was actually ‘Bruce’), SpongeBob, or any person, object, or creature from the deep.
Let your imagination swim wild, and there will, of course, be PRIZES for the best costumes on the night! See you there!!
> Friday 4th October, 18:30h – late
> Venue: DiQue (formerly Blue Nest), Port Adriano
