    August 26, 2020 in Croatia ⋅ ☀️ 25 °C

    Trogir Uvala Duga, Marina to Pakleni. Well we fetched Emma. Moored the boat across from the marina, Kev aimed for someone else’s mooring bouy and dropped there. I sped off very excited to drive our dinghy and collect her and shopping. When we left we could not pull up the anchor it had caught in a dead body. After turning and pulling and turning and pulling and much stress we got the anchor free. Lovely Pakleni and sunset walkRead more

    Korcula Uvala Luka to Ston Uvala Vicine. An early morning exit. We had no idea what was coming. Winds over 25 and great swell. Could not get anywhere close to Mljet. Tried, turned back to Korcula and then went to hide from the south Easter at Ston and discovered possibly my next favorite spot. Awesome hike to the church and radler on town quay.Read more

    September 5, 2020 in Croatia

    Lopud to Montenegro. Easy enough checkout and passport control and customs. Started sailing but wind soon dropped. Kevin decided to remove bung plug on dinghy to empty water and lost it in the sea. Tried to turn but code 0 was up. Kevin jumped naked in dinghy to search but could not find or take more risk. Entered Montenegro easily enough with eventually pleasant police. Lovely harbor master person. Moving to Tivat for the eveningRead more

    September 15, 2020 in Greece

    Lefkada Bridge to Town quay to Nydri Tranquility Bay. Today we motored through the channel very early. Then parked in the wrong place and then experienced a nightmare day of winds blowing our boat and the anchor slipping onto the town quay. Walked 18km to lidl, gas and laundry. Headed out to tranquility bay because of pending storms coming throughRead more
