Sailing Croatia

The waters of the Kornati
Islands are quickly fading from my mind, only 24 hours later.

I can’t imagine spending a week aboard with a
nicer family, the Shreves. We sailed from the Kremik Marina, near Primosten and
Trogir aboard a beautiful 50ft. Grand Soleil yacht. The winds were force 4-5
from the SE, making for some real heavy sailing, close haul to Vis. It was a big
day, which set us up for nice cruising the rest of the week. Winds were more
consistent than I have experienced in Croatia, turning later in the week from
the NW, again at force 4-5. Good
Fun!!!

We sailed to Hvar, and did some
beautiful climbing on Miroslav
Stec’s
cliff at Sveta Nedjelja. What a spot! The typically steep
cliffs of Croatia shine here, only meters from the water. Thanks Miroslav, for
all the hard work to create such a fine
place.

We picked up more crew at Split,
then headed on towards the Kornati Islands. A few photos show a bit of the
ambiance on our last 2 days together
.

The forecast for these Alps is good
and hot for the next 5 days. We will walk from Chamonix to Zermatt on the “Haute
Route” this week. Conditions look to be perfect!
