We had planned to be in Croatia by now but I (Paul) have been having a sore tooth so went to a local dentist. I have to go back later in the week so we are chilling out for a bit longer.

Today we got our bikes out and went for big ride around the fjord. It was a great ride on a quiet little road right on the water. Nice to be away from the main town and all the cruise ship crowd.
We are enjoying Montenegro and feeling like we want to spend a bit more time here. The weather remains a bit changable but we have seen some sun.
We are now in a town called Bar in Montenegro after sailing 26 hours from Corfu, about 160 miles. The trip was uneventful with fair winds and kind seas. The most interesting bit was ensuring we stayed far enough away from the Albanian coast to keep outside the mine fields!
So far Montenegro has been a bit cold and wet but the people seem very friendly. Not many photography oppertunities as yet but once the sun comes up I will put some up. We are now in Corfu for a few days to:

Our bow thruster is not working which is a bummer. It is a handy toy in the crowded marinas here. I have discovered that mentioning this to other yachties gets two distinct reactions. Those that don't have a bow thruster are surprisingly unsympathetic. Those with one are more caring. Our other issue is our dinghy outboard which is running rough. But it's all part of the sailing experience. We are heading for Corfu then on up to Montenegro, a whole new country to explore. |
