Croatia

We had an easier trip into Croatia and dutifully tied up at the Cavtat customs wharf. Our crew, Jenny, Vicky, Anne, Angela and Kate had now reached top form as they were due to depart the next day, and were complimented again by the person taking the ropes on shore.

Dear family and friends, we tend to post much more regularly on Facebook, do come join us there also, we love news and contact. The account name there is Murihiku Murihiku.

Back on the boat, and floating in Slano, a small harbour town that was bombed flat during the 1990s war. Only the church and a couple of buildings survived, however it has risen again and seems pleasant and relatively prosperous. There was even a monastery where young monks are in training, perhaps the church being the only surviving building helped with recruitment.

The boat is in great condition, having wintered over safely in Montenegro. We had the hull polished, engines serviced and winterised, through hulls checked, zincs changed etc. Was a hot slog hauling the upcoming season’s groceries in 34 degree heat, and really lovely to be back on the water to cool down properly. After a couple of quiet nights at anchor back in Bigova, a favourite bay, we had a good trip up from Montenegro to Dubrovnik. Timing was perfect as we had some work done in the Dubrovnik marina while a Low sat over us for a few days, sending us electrical storms and a lot of rain. Sitting here today the temperatures are rising, humidity dropping and we are seeing the sun again.

We still have some more time before Philip joins us in Mljet, so we are dawdling and swimming, and even making bread.
