43:11.0N 16:2.45E Wednesday 5th June. We left Korcula mid day after a quick visit in to the town to pick up a Croatian dongle. This turned out to be a very long and frustrating job. Once connected to the rest of the world we made our way to Hvar Island. The wind was on the nose so it was engine once again. Arrangements had been made to anchor in a little bay one and a half miles north of the town of Hvar. This bay turned out to be a little gem with lines provided and a small restaurant. If you eat at the restaurant there are no mooring fees and guess what? It was a no brainer really. Before being picked up by the owner for our meal, we had drinks on board a big cat and all was well with the world once again.
Thursday 6th June. A stopover for another day had been scheduled and water taxis had been booked so we had a lovely day doing touristy things in the main town of Hvar. A beautiful place with a very old castle on top of the hill. We didn't do the climb up as we were loaded down with wine and fruit. Instead we meandered through the narrow streets, had some beers and lunch and watched the chaos of yachties trying to moor in the very overcrowded bay. That night the pre-dinner drinks were on Sonsy Lass which by this time there were 7 boats, meaning 20 thirsty sailors. There is space on the big cats for such numbers but on our little boat it is a wee bit tight. All went very well however and then we were off again for more food and drink at the little restaurant. Another great day ends!.
