A garden in the sea

by Birgit

The islands along Dugi Otok form a fantastic sea garden. We enjoyed a lovely sailing day, although we were becalmed a couple of times between the islands. Two dolphins accompanied us for a while. Tied up at a buoy at Otok Rava for the night.

Cruiser’s routine

by Birgit

Winds from SE (where we want to go) keep us in the protected bay of Ist and give us the time to have a go at cruiser’s routine tasks of boat maintenance (C working on electronics, I sewing a spray dodger, Leeloo sunbathing), just right to get into the mood

Lovely idyllic Ist

by Birgit

We accomplished incredible 12nm in 7 hours today… We are staying in Ist tonight, a butterfly-shaped island without cars and totally laid back. For sunset we walked up the hill to the church, what started at a leisurly pace turned into a race against time, but we made it.

day off

by Birgit

Leaving behind the job and the whole ratrace sounded so nice, but we’ve been working 12 to 15 hours daily on the boat since we arrived here and a day off would be really nice now. Otherwise we’ll manage to get a burn out syndrom without having a job After struggling with Croatian bureau-crazy we’ve finally got all equipment on the boat and hopefully we’ll… Continue reading »

Getting ready to set sail

by Birgit

We’re still in Pula, working on several projects on the boat simultaneously, but the big jobs like painting the deck and installing the watermaker are done. The chaos is slowly turning into organisation and it looks like we’ll be off soon!

Building site

by Birgit

Only 3 weeks to go until we move to our new swimming home, but Pitufa still resembles a building site. We’ve worked our way with angle grinders half across the deck (the layers of paint, filler and primer seem to be an extra resistant material, probably developed by NASA in order to annoy us…), but the painting will have to wait until later… Christian has… Continue reading »
