    Uvala Prodolje

    August 16 in Croatia ⋅ ☀️ 30 °C

    Zuljana Uvala Vucine to Uvala Prodolje. Not really a bay. But it will do and it's on our way to meet Jade so it works. Beautiful sunset.
    Good journey here, sailing when none was expected 🙏.

    Anchor in 8m sand patch between the seaweed.Read more

    Zuljana Uvala Vucine

    August 15 in Croatia ⋅ ☀️ 30 °C

    Korcula Badija bay to Zuljana Uvala Vucine. A good time because of a 1.5 knot current behind us. A really really beautiful spot in a beautiful but difficult bay. Excellent sunset and hard sunrise run.

    Heading south to meet Jade in Dubrovnik 🙏.

    Anchor in unknown ground mix of Poseidon and hard sand. Anchor took 2nd time. In 8m 42m chain.    Read more

    Korcula Badija bay

    August 14 in Croatia ⋅ ☀️ 31 °C

    Scedro Uvala Borova to Korcula Badija bay. Croatia always delivers excellent afternoon winds for sailing typically NW about angle was😀 a run with sails goose winged. A little bit of cat mouse going past the wind suffers and a beautiful after view of Korcula Old Town and the 160m luxury three-masted barque Sea Cloud II. Built as a modern passenger windjammer for Sea Cloud Cruises, it features 23 sails covering roughly 3,000 square meters and accommodates up to 94 guests.

    Anchor in 4.5m clay sand

    Pakleni Uvala Tarsce

    August 11 in Croatia ⋅ ☀️ 29 °C

    Stari Grad to Pakleni Uvala Tarsce. I don't really enjoy this party island and the numerous idiots that anchor there. Regrettably the distances are too big to skip Pakleni and I do enjoy the run and Dionis Restaurant. However aubergine pie and risotto and a 250ml bottle of water coming to 55 euro is unacceptable. Then the subsequent fight with the Croatian skipper who dropped over our anchor and after I told him so and he ignored me and went drinking in the bay next door. So to his surprise in the morning when I had not slept stressing and was angry we ended up in a verbal altercation. We picked up our anchor and obviously his too and unceremoniously dropped it at his catamaran while he was busy screaming and swearing at us. I had great pleasure in telling him that I had advised him and he didn't bother to swim and check and Kevin said that the Italian passengers should get their skipper money back 😉

    Anchor in 12m with 64m

    Stari grad Uvala Paklina

    August 10 in Croatia ⋅ ☀️ 32 °C

    Nedomisalj Bay Starfish to Stari Grad Uvala Paklina. Love Stari Grad ❤️. Date night sitting on the wall in the town square. No photos taken. Maybe we are no longer tourists? Here to spend sometime in civilization and to replenish food supplies at Tommy. Oh and ice cream in old town 🍦 🍨 very quiet which was special

    Anchor in 10m. Good holding    Read more

    Ostrica North

    August 4 in Croatia ⋅ ☀️ 30 °C

    Drvnik mali to Ostrica North. Dropped in 12m. 53m out lines ashore. A swim on the way. Just too hot. 2 great runs and an awesome dance video drone shoot on the hill.

    A thunderstorm ⛈️ passed close by. Not sleeping too much heat.Read more

    Drvenik Mali

    August 2 in Croatia ⋅ ☀️ 29 °C

    Split Spinut Bay to Drvenik Mali. Wow... this is Croatia off the beaten track, far from the frantic peak-season boat traffic.
    A stunning walk, a refreshing swim on the other side of the island, and a great snorkel. 🤿
    It was simply too hot to sleep... and definitely too hot to run. 🤣
    Fingerprint Island, you were beautiful. ✨💙

    Anchor in 12m dropped out 60m hausers ashore.    Read more

    Split Spinut Bay

    July 30 in Croatia ⋅ ☀️ 30 °C

    Solta Uvala Livka to Split Spinut Bay. What a truly special time. 💛

    Having Jade join us on GypsyDjango in Split, wandering through the beautiful Old Town, then enjoying lunch and champagne aboard. 🥂🍾 The day ended with a wonderful dinner out with Kevin, and enjoying one of my favourite forest runs. Moments like these are the ones I treasure. ✨

    A good sail here. Anchored in 6m re-anchored to get out of the exclusion zones - further back.    Read more

    Smrka submarine bay

    July 27 in Croatia ⋅ ☀️ 25 °C

    Uvala Prapatna to Smrka Submarine bay. After our crazy storm it was time to move to a bay we enjoy and to discover a new run to the monastery. Our first 14k run, almost 600m climbing so a hard but beautiful run in barren hills.

    3 days to be in 1 place bonus.

    Anchor in 10m, 60m out. Lines ashore    Read more

    Uvala Prapatna

    July 25 in Croatia ⋅ ⛅ 25 °C

    Plaza Zidigova to Uvala Prapatna.. 6 hours to get here 😭. In and out of 3 bays and much indecision where to go because of the pending storm. Anchor in 13m good sand. 60m chain and hausers ashore. For better or worse lightning and gale storms this is where we were. Eventually because of the 30 knot gusts on our beam we took a third line to shore to ease the pressure on the anchor. A good bay in the end.Read more

    Plaza Zidigova

    July 24 in Croatia ⋅ ☀️ 26 °C

    Korcula Badija bay to Hvar Uvala Smarska to Plaza Zidigova. 5h36. After our 3.45am morning we sailed in strong winds sailing on head sail only reefed with 33 knot gusts and found somewhere to shelter waiting till the wind became northerly before heading to our final destination. But it's about the protection and the journey. Anchor in 6m good sand. Lovely run to Sucaraj town.

    Korcula Badija bay

    July 22 in Croatia ⋅ ☀️ 26 °C

    Ston Uvala Vucine to Korcula Badija bay.
    A crazy journey getting here with wind gusts and a speed of almost 8 on head sail. A 3.45 am wake up the next morning with strong winds so it was time to leave. 32 knot winds and fortunately we did not take the main up so only needed to reef the head sail. A stunning night out in Korcula.

    Uvala Vucine

    July 20 in Croatia ⋅ ☀️ 31 °C

    Mljet Hrid Senjevki to Ston Zuljana Uvala Vucine.

    A beautiful bay and exceptional location and an amazing hike up to the look-out view. A very difficult anchorage and 4 attempts and almost an hour to get the anchor to grip. Very important with the pending midnight storm expected with 65 knot winds 🌧️ ⚡

    Anchor in 6m with 40m out.    Read more

    Hrid Senjevki

    July 18 in Croatia ⋅ ☀️ 27 °C

    Uvala Splice to Hrid Senjevki.

    Uploaded the photos of the 1rst and last time we were here. We came here with Tristan and my heart is glad when I see the photos ❤️. We will get to shore for a walk to the next bay in the morning and a snorkel this afternoon 🤗

    Dropped in 10m very good sand. 30m out with lines ashore.    Read more

    Uvala Spilice

    July 16 in Croatia ⋅ ☀️ 29 °C

    Wolf Bay to Uvala Spilice.

    A quick one,around the corner. 2nd time we have been here, aka Super Yacht bay. Last time was with Emma in 2020. No access to land and filled with noisy super yachts but a nice place to pause and good Westerly protection.

    Dropped in 6m and good holding. Lines ashore    Read more

    Wolf Bay

    July 15 in Croatia ⋅ ☀️ 29 °C

    Ston Broce to Wolf Bay. Personally named as almost every time we come here the wolves in the nearby hills give us a night time show. A stunning bay. The water still a little chilly to snorkel. A gentle walk in the morning.

    Lopud

    July 12 in Croatia ⋅ ☀️ 26 °C

    Dubrovnik Port Authority to Lopud. Despite the mishaps, I am finally at peace, I am happy to be here, our 11th time but now we can enjoy sailing back here which is easier than the Ionians when the strong winds require a move without massive distance to the next location. Lopud is amazing for a tiny island. A good run in the morning to explore the old ruins.

    Dubrovnik Gruz Pier

    July 12 in Croatia ⋅ ⛅ 28 °C

    Corfu – Tzoufaka Beach to Dubrovnik Gruž Pier

    Some passages stay with you forever… this will be one of them.

    Immense swell gave way to a vicious storm, with 70 km/h winds and driving rain. Every time we thought we'd make landfall, the weather had other plans, adding another three hours to an already gruelling crossing.

    When we spotted the Croatian Port Police racing towards us, we genuinely thought help had arrived. Instead, they wanted to board us in the middle of the storm because they believed we'd committed an immigration infraction back in 2024.

    They actually instructed us to switch our engines off. Really?

    We were under sail, fighting the conditions, soaked, wearing life jackets, and focused on keeping the boat and ourselves safe. Boarding simply wasn't an option.

    We agreed to meet them at our planned clearing-in point in Dubrovnik, and they sped away, leaving us to finish battling the sea.

    Exhausted, cold, and relieved to finally reach the Q dock, we were escorted straight to the police station. Three hours later, thanks to my obsessive habit of recording every voyage on Garmin, we proved what we'd known all along—we had correctly checked into and out of Croatia in 2024.

    Twice we've been wrongly accused. Twice we've walked away cleared. Twice we've lost hours we can never get back.

    Not quite the welcome we were hoping for after 206.54 nautical miles, 46 hours and 28 minutes at sea… but at least this story ends safely. 💤

    Was good to go past Jade's ship on the way in. From now on we take photos to prove check-in 😭    Read more

    Gouvia bay

    July 9 in Greece ⋅ ☀️ 30 °C

    Notos Paralia to Lidl Bay to Gouvia bay. A quick shop at Lidl getting as much food from the store to set us up for the sail to Croatia. Then anchor in Gouvia and the best Gyros ever from the restaurant aptly named the best and where the locals eat. Takeaway to sit on the shore and fight off the wildlife 🤪. A good run in the morning 🌅

    Corfu Notos Paralia

    July 8 in Greece ⋅ ☀️ 28 °C

    Ormos Skouliki to Corfu Notos Paralia. First time in this bay. Pleasant area with many cicadis in the trees and a quaint little village. Cloudy water. Going for cocktails tonight 🤗. Off to Corfu town tomorrow.

    Anchor in 4m sand. Dragged a little.

    Ithaca Filiatro Bay

    July 4 in Greece ⋅ ☀️ 28 °C

    Poros Harbour to Ithaca Filiatro Bay. Shew time to head north again and to a bay we haven't been to before. Gypsydjango is solo quiet 🤐. Tied to an underwater rock but the tremendous swell released it. A really good run hike in the morning.

    Poros Harbour

    July 3 in Greece ⋅ ☀️ 28 °C

    Skala beach to Poros Harbour. Farewell Krige family and time to clean and get more food. A motor, yes very little sailing on this trip. A visit to Poros Harbour but 34 degrees so a decision to anchor in the bay. Not an easy one with the marked off area for the ferry. Good laundromat to clean bedding and towels. Worth returning to do the hike.
