I got the opportunity to be skipper on a charter boat with four swedish guys onboard plus Isa and me. On a 33 ft boat, that was a bit cramped, but worked out quite fine. To a large degree because all four of them were soldiers and thus used to living close to others, even strangers.

A really nice contrast to the nordic sailing we are doing in the Baltic. Interestingly enough, Split is pretty much the same longitude as where R�de Orm is docked. 17 degrees something East. Instead of 55 degrees North, the aeroplane landed at 43 N.

Temperature in the air hardly ever under 30 C (86F) even at night. Nearly as warm in the water. Needless to say, we were all snorkeling quite a bit, even though there wasn't that much of interest to see under the surface. In that respect, Greece's many islands are a lot more rewarding.

The boat was an Elan 333 as shown in the pic.
