    In the Med there are at least 26 words to describe the wind. Italy Mistral, Greece Meltimi, Africa Scirroco, and here in Croatia it’s called a Bora. We left the charter company’s safe harbour at day break in 10 knots, rounded an island and watched it increase up to 38 max. Fresh to frightening as Sharon Green would say. 40 miles later we landed on the west end of Korcula in Vela Luca, known for olive oil, vino, and the north home of Marco Polo. Happy crew enjoying the views, the town, and now watching AC races with a beautiful backdrop.

    The Bora strikes hard. Hold on tight ! 🌬️💨 Wind blew the top of if waves off... nearly 40 knots

    According to Mr Beaufort:
    Force 8 -34-40 knots Gale -Moderately high (18-25 ft) waves of greater length, edges of crests begin to break into spindrift, foam blown in streaks Twigs breaking off trees, generally impedes progress

  • Stari Grad

    5 de outubro de 2024, Croácia ⋅ ⛅ 19 °C

    Stari Grad, is one of the oldest continually inhabited cities in Europe. Since 300 BC?

    The passage from VIS was three hours, super glassy and we got here and are done with lunch by noon

    long day with very fertile valley off the end.
    The crew is pretty tight at this point. A Med tie takes four people, but everyone has their job down The quay is much much wider than the one on Vis , reminds me of a New York City sidewalk
    Captain says time for a walk!
    Just finished a 16 oz Heineken beer
    Ahhh
