Wow this morning started with a Bang. Literally.

We had anchored in a tiny cove on a mooring ball to weather the storm overnight. It wasn’t that bad.

We set out at 6:30am, knowing we may encounter weather. Oh my.

Watch the video below. Sorry it’s upside down : (

We sailed North toward the island of Dugi Otok, but an hour in the weather took a turn and the tiny ship was tossed.

With gusts of 35 knts and driving rain we decided to turn around and seek refuge in a small cove we had passed.

We anchored there safely and knowing we were safe we crawled into bed to wait it out and slept like babies for two hours.

When we awoke the storm had passed so we set off again to Dugi Otok.

Sea Cliffs. Wow.

We landed in Sali late into the evening and enjoyed a night at dock with shore power and stores, restaurants and bars.

But no ice. Our recurring theme in the islands of Croatia. But I’ll leave that for the next post. And the Sangria too. The alliteration was just too good to pass up : )
