Njord's Adventures

Primosten on the mainland

14 July 2018 | Primosten
Clare
We left Otok Zminjak in 20 knots of wind well reefed down towards Otok Privic. We picked up the same buoy in this pretty little harbour as we had on the north to Preko. However the Harbour Master came out and said all the buoys were taken for a rally coming in later that afternoon. So in we went on to Primosten.

We took a look here at several options at around 15.00; small harbour wall, buoy field and anchoring on the other side of the bay. This is a delightful old town and it was packed with again no room. We did not fancy pushing our way in to anchor with a line to shore as the Pilot Book says it is a doggy sea bed unless you have a fisherman's hook anchor. It had loads of charter boats here so we decided we may be safe but they may not.

On we went to just around the corner and the next bay and a deep inlet. In here there is Kremik Marina which has finger pontoons, what a luxury, like being back in the UK. The marina is very well set up with a frequent cheap taxi service into Primosten, a great chandlery where of course we dropped some Kuna, a good little supermarket, a daily stall selling fresh veg and fruit and a nice bar and restaurant. The showers were brilliant too. It is a marina though so not very pretty after all the quiet and tranquility of the pretty bays.

Kremik Marina €63.5 / night

Vessel Name: Njord of London
Vessel Make/Model: Malo 39 Classic
Crew: Vic Farhi & Clare Harrison
About: Learnt to sail together and the first sailing experience was in Lanzarote in 2005. We then bought Mandarin, a Bavaria 39 and in June 2012 bought Njord, a Malo 39 from the Baltic.
Extra: As attributed to Mark Twain: Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did. So throw off the bow lines, sail away from the safe harbour. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.

Two weeks of blissful sailing gently around the Ionian in 2019. High season for chartered and family holidays yet we still managed to find some less frequented bays to drop the hook
