    A better night sleep at Vinisce. Kev headed up the mast to hoist the halyard for the new Code 0 - which was a little disappointing on our maiden sail and our detour to find the wind caused us to find a bay called Uvala Boravica. Mooring with anchor and lines ashore. No mosquitos! Today was a difficult day which ended up in an abandoned trip aiming for primosten to finding a little bay. The code 0 did not work. Anchored up and was tired. Bay Uvala Boravica.Read more

    Woke up in Uvala Boravica narrow bay and headed to Primosten. A good day in Primosten- loved the old town. Walking the little cobbled streets to the church. The bay is lovely and not too busy. Gorgeous water. Sadly a swell came in at lunchtime and we had to go lie onshoreRead more

    A lovely bay in primosten but too exposed and a shocking nights sleep. I am ready to move on! So the journey to Korcula starts. We are heading without wind to a small bay around the corner Rogoznica

    A brilliant sail to Jelsa. Moored in the little bay next door Luka Vrboska. Woke up and went for a 12k run to Jelsa. What a beautiful little town. Left for Brac to hide out from expected bad winds

    July 10, 2020 in Croatia

    Trogir early morning walk for coffee and croissants. Still one of my favorite old towns. Love the marina but looking forward to a new bay. Quick stop at Lagoon - definitely not worth going again and then off to Pakleni to revisit our bay.Read more

    A perfect night in Scedro. Today to Korcula- birth place of Marco Polo. Dropped LG off on town quay to a wonderful guy. Moored with a 3k walk to town for boat taxes. Hitchhiked with wonderful Juro and made it. Met Lara after wondering through sad ghost town. Heart breaking. Caught a water taxi back with a wonderful man. Got back to GD about to run onto land. Headed around corner for moor in Uvala Raciste.Read more

    Lovely bay - Uvala Raciste on Korcula a little busy for our gorgeous friends. So heading today to Lastovo. No wind all motor. Stopped in saplun island off Lastovo for a brief swim. Had to pay 200k park fees at our little bay for the evening Uvala Uska.Read more

  • Lastovo

    July 16, 2020 in Croatia

    Was a little disappointed in this national park. Not as luscious as expected. Found a pretty enough bay - 200 kuna. Headed around the corner for shopping and then found the most delicious bay. Fun on the town quay and stunning walk with Lara to the Konzum in the little town stealing rosemary along the way.Read more

  • Lastovo

    July 18, 2020 in Croatia

    Borova Bay, lastovo - never want to leave here, just perfect. Fresh croissants with marmalade with LG at wonderful Kokolo. A sad day to be leaving for Pakleni and crazy seas getting there. Blog writing time. Feeling sad. An almost emergency stop in Vela Luka and off again. 8h20 sailing day.Read more
