• Ride 5 Primosten

    3 Eylül, Hırvatistan ⋅ ☀️ 77 °F

    I'll get to the ride little later. It is 10am on Wednesday morning. Day 6 We are cruising now. Today's ride, our 5th ride, is an afternoon ride, the first of the trip.

    We have a 3 hour cruise first. Coffee and breakfast this morning, followed by an anchor drop, for a quick swim.

    Only 5 or 6 swam, but there were backflips off the back of the boat.

    And everyone is just in chill mode. A game of Cribbage below. Most are up top reading. A few listening to music and just taking in the sights.

    We all easily know each others names. There is a great comfort together.

    A peaceful prelude to what I expected to be a tough ride, but we have been reassured is going to be the best ride of the trip.

    3pm now. We had a huge lunch and are letting it settle. This is the most quiet the boat has been.

    My Lovely is beside me on the upper deck, loading photos. The wind and waves are rocking the boat. I'm fighting the desire for a nap. We leave in an hour...

    The Ride

    The Ride was challenging, but not too much. Most of the ride was heading uphill through the country. Then the BIG, curvy downhill and back to the coast. Serge had said that this would be the best ride. I can see where some would say that as we did several miles on a path that runs along the coast.

    I would not agree that this was the best ride. It was beautiful but not the best.

    I actually felt a little guilty on the coastline pathway. There were 32 of us riding. It was a bit much for the pedestians, although we were spaced out in smaller groups.
