Today we found a beautiful bay for swimming, in crystal clear water.
Our lovely apartment hosts also invited us to a private lunch with their Norwegian friends which was a great way to finish our stay on the bewitching little island of Silba❤️Read more

Day107
Silba Island
October 4, 2019 in Croatia ⋅ ⛅ 14 °C
Today we took a 2 hour catamaran ferry to the small (15 square km) Croatian island of Silba. The whole island is a car free zone and it has a beautiful mild sunny climate. The island also has a very interesting history including, at one stage, ownership by a wealthy Venetian family (it was on the main sailing route to Venice) and then much later ‘bought’ by the local people for independence. This island was not based so much on fishing or farming (as other local islands are) but dominated by sailors and captains - often world travellers. Interestingly this particular island has a history of the women having a higher standing and power than the men (more of a matriarchal society) - not the usual situation in these parts.
On our first night we found ourselves at a party hosted by a Norwegian couple in the gardens of a magnificent villa (originally built for a captain) they have lovingly restored. We mingled with the locals, drinking their homemade wine and eating roast pig from the wood oven.Read more

Day6
Segeltag, Badetag, Fussballabend
July 12, 2018 in Croatia ⋅ ☀️ 26 °C
Nach dem faulen, wunderschönen Badetag, rüttelte Gewitter mit starkem Wind uns durch die Nacht!
Die Sonne und ein schwaches Lüftchen weckten uns am Morgen.
Von Premuda ging’s dann hurtig, mit 7 Knoten am Wind segelnd, nach Olib. Uschi steuerte tapfer, sogar wenn wir Halsen machten, in eine der Windrichtung abgewandten, wunderschönen Bucht mit türkisem Wasser, Sandboden und flachen Inselausläufern, ein Feeling wie in der Karibik! Ein ruhiger Badenachmittagstraum!
Die Sonne stand dann auf Zeichen: Fußball! Also kreuzten wir bei gutem Wind, mit erstem Reff im Groß, nach Olib Stadt und suchten ein Restaurant mit Fernseher! Bei Sonnenuntergang, Dorade mit Mangold, Bier und Wein sahen, hörten und staunten wir über den WM Sieg der Kroaten gegen England! Kroatien spielt um den WM Titel gegen Frankreich am kommenden Wochenende! Da wurden Leuchtfeuer am Meer abgeschossen!! Ein unglaublicher Traum für die Kroaten!
Mit dem Dingi fuhren wir des Nächtens mit Taschenlampe in unser ruhiges Segelboot zurück und der Regen tröpfelte uns in den Schlaf!Read more
