Well-known member
here is a report from our holliday in Croatia
this is the 10the year we stay here,
second with our Karnic
First two weeks we stay with our 4 kids and my daughters boyfriend, and another family with 3 kids in a house in Cavtat.
This is the view from our Balcony, we can see old town Dubrovnic at 5nm.
usually one or more big cruise ships in front
and some yachts in the Cavtat bay (not in this pic)
This is Cavtat
mooring for just a few big yachts,
many celebs use this mooring place for the visits to Dubrovnic.
we spend our days with some cruising to another island or bay,
swimming shilling and water toys,
yes sometimes 12 peeps on the boat,
some stay on the beach or go shopping...
or visiting places like old town Dubrovnic
we managed to make friends with a local and use his mooring place in the old harbour, no hassle with the dingy.
many big yachts anker in front of the old town
lunch was usually picnic on the boat.
or even a bbq every now and then
We alway's had our "evening / diner clothing" with us,
so the evening we went to a restaurant with the boat.
we had many of these, even grilled a few of them on the boat
returning from the restaurant, cruising at night with the family on board, are memorable moments !
After 2 weeks the kids and our friends went back home
the following week I was alone with swmbo
we dit some very long trips,
one to Lastovo the most far ofshore island from Croatia
and one 2 day trip.
we stayed overnight in a nice bay called Kobas on the half island peljesac,
we had a very good fish meal, and one botle of Looza (for just the two of us)
I showed swmbo all collors of my recently instaled LED lightning ;-)
I am sorry JFM no Lumishore, its Ikea ;-)
here swmbo enjoy's herself returning from Mljet, with some Croatian friends on the helm
the 4th and last week,
brother in law, and a friend with his wife came with us
we left Cavtat and then
4 day's live aboard (5 peeps)
the first leg I took the boat and swmbo the car, to Makarska area (around 80nm)
this picture took swmbo from the road,
the small boat in the middle with the long wake is me
had to make a fuel stop in Gruz, the main Dubrovnic Harbour
on this picture you can see islands Daksa, Lopud, Kolocep, Sipan, Jakljan, and almost Olipa
and mljet, we visited them all.
I came along Korcula, didn't stop, visited last year
during this live aboard trip,
we were mainly around islands Hvar, Vis and Brac
this is our first night stop in a cove called zavala near Stari Grad
only one other boat around, memorable evenings with skinny dipping etc...
this is a lunch stop at Komiza on the island Vis
very nearby is the small island bisevo with the famous bleu cave
thanks to some advice from JamesTT on this forum, ;-) we discovered the "Green" Cave,
The Boat went completely inside, I could even make a 180° turn.
Both swmbo and myself are very impressed.
our last nightstop was in a very beautifull place, restaurant pipo near Povlja (Brac)
and then the lift out,
cleaning off 4 weeks fouling,
and trailer her back home, still 1650km to go.
would like we'd made more and better boat and action pics, I am sorry, we were too busy enjoying ourselves
80 hours in 4 weeks,
140 hrs this season until now,
would like to add some more this year !!!
