Sailing Croatia

Just back from a great week in Croatia where we joined some kiwi friends for a weeks sailing...



Departed from Split and visited several islands...











Look who got the "primo" spot...




Evidence still exists of submarine bunkers used by the allies in the second world war.



and also evidence of later conflicts as depicted in the church doors.


Of course, in the Adriatic or Mediteranean you are never too far away from culinary delights...


On one of the islands we stumbled across a vineyard restaurant which slow cooks dishes "under the Bell" in a wood fired oven. A real treat...






















The local vino was excellent quality and exceptional value...


We had a bit of competition for berths in one or two places. Bill Gates was in the area at the time and we were not sure if this was his yacht of not tied up in Hvar.


Unfortunately the weather was a little unsettled one or two days, but at least it gave us some good sailing as well!




Korcula was special...

as was Hvar...

and Skraden...


and Primosten...

and Vela Luka...
and Trogir....


and if I returned I would probably head straight to Vis.

Now of course, we are thinking of when we can do some more!!
