James and I arrived in Split Croatia yesterday afternoon. We took a taxi to the harbor and swam through the masses of charter boaters on the docks to get the boat ready to go.

We love the Doria. She’s a brand new 2019 35 foot Jenneau sailboat.

We headed into town for dinner, grabbed some ice and provisions, and set out at 10pm in the dark for a secluded cove about 25 miles out that Captain James had his eye on.

What a cove it is! We arrived around 2:00 am and anchored in the dark and awoke to this. wow!

The water is warm and super clear and, unlike Italy, there are lots of small fish.

We went for a morning swim, cooked breakfast of eggs and the leftover mushrooms and veggies and nutty delicious bread from our dinner last night.

What a perfect way to start our first day in Croatia.
