- third day (08.07.) - - Jelsa - sailed to swim stop Lucisce bay on island of Hvar - went to Zarace bay, caught a mooring ball for the night ( dinner at restaurant/konoba Gego)
- fourth day (09.07.) - - Zarace bay - motored/sailed to Green cave on island of Ravnik near island of Vis - went to Stoncica bay for a swim stop (lovely little bay) - docked for the night at Vis town ( went with a taxi to Komiza town, one of our crew did an organized dive, others walked and drank a lot). dinner at Dol (free taxi), tried the peka meal) Big storm came through Vis town!
- fifth day (10.07.) - - Vis town - due to the bad weather we motored, missed the sub hole, to Vinogradisce bay on St. Klement island or it is also called Paklinski otoci. (had a massage at Laganini beach bar, dinner at Toto's palmizana restaurant)
- sixth day (11.07.) - - Viniogradisce bay - sailed all day - went to fuel station in town Rogac (island Solta) - anchor with shore lines for the night at Necujam bay on island of Solta (dinner on boat...onion pie!)
- seventh day (12.07.) - - Necujam bay - went to Krknjasi bay on island of Drvenik for a swim stop - sailed to the Poljica for a second swim stop -great tacking sail back to base Marina Agana. Trogir for a dinner at Don Dino restaurant.
We had a new 4500 on this trip, fully tricked out w water maker and ICE MAKER! We chartered the 4000 in Greece a couple of years ago, but the three ladies in this crew prefers en suite heads. Love the forward facing galley and front porch on both.

Kryssa,
I've sailed there four times-- middle and southern Dalmatians (next trip will be Istria/north). Any questions for me? Some observations: First time I sailed Split to Dubrovnik-- too far, only allows for highlighting. Has become much more crowded in last few years, but less touristy places can still be found: second time on Hvar and Brac, my crew preferred the secondary, less popular stops such as Jelsa and Supetar. Vis is my favorite island; also recommend SIbenik, Pag, Mljet. I know you stated you've reserved a cat, but a monohull, for quayside med-mooring, is preferable there. Also most charter cos. have more than one base; consider a one-way sail for a reasonable fee to see more.
Mr. Ed

DesertWinds: Croatia requires VHF certification (thanks, all of you who have abused it!) in addition to a sailing license.
I always go late May/early June for the longer days versus Sept. First trip in late June it was 35C/95F each day!

We are starting in Agana at the Moorings base. We are going the week of August 29, 2020. We were limited by work schedules so not a lot of choice. Thankfully it seems we will miss the peak weeks but still have weather and water warm enough for swimming.
Dad is the skipper on record and Mom has his ear, so when she demands a catamaran, the decision is made. Perhaps a monohull on a future trip with a smaller group.
