The title says it all.
I mentioned it in more detail in the other Croatia thread running at the moment but thought that all those with an interest in Croatia might wany to check it out.
This is my extract from the other thread.
"The old official Croatian Government moorings map http://www.mppi.hr/default.aspx?id=7411 does not show Stoncica as an offical chargeable anchorage which means that you may have more scope for negotiation. The problem with the map is that it has never been properly kept up to date so there always has to be a negotiation with the "collection man in the boat". I'm 100% sure that the new moorings at Stoncica are official.
Unfortunately the new Croatian Govt app https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...Eg0t0Iuisb69UY which is free and available for Android and Apple does show Uvala Stoncica as an offical anchorage. It looks like the map has been abandoned in favour of the app and the fee collector might well have the app on his phone and you are then stuffed.
The app is actually pretty good with a lot of info in English (if you put in a UK phone number .... you don't need to put in any of the other information if you don't want to) and has the advantage that you can use it offline. If you click on the map of any anchorage you open up the main map and can navigate across to an island or area if you don't know the name of the bays you are considering. It also has the official registered price of the anchorage so you know in advance what you're going to pay.
The app also has a red distress button which will presumably automatically notify the Croatian coastguard. Is the the first distress call app I wonder?"
