The crew arrived and we spent a day preparing the boat and equipment and stocking up with food. We sailed from the marina in Rogoznica in Croatia on 24^th August and sailed through the Dalmatian islands and anchored in a delightful harbour at the small island of Lastovo. The next day we sailed to Dubrovnik and spent a day looking around the city.

To check out at immigration and customs in Dubrovnik before sailing to Italy we went to the main port of Gruz where we berthed at the main quay between a passenger liner and a ferry ! (see photo).
