After the windy, sleep deprived night, we finally
arose to a sunny morning with a moderate breeze. Carol really wanted to snorkel
a nearby island that was not possible yesterday, so off we went in our lovely
new dinghy and she had a great snorkel and I had a great row! it was still a bit
choppy so I didn't snorkel but acted as boatman. We left after lunch for the 12
mile sail to Primosten, a pretty looking litle town built on an island with just
a causeway linking it to the mainland. Had a fab sail and arrived around 1700 to
find all the buoys were taken, so anchored off the shore in 6 metres of boulders
and it blew! Rough and horrid, as we were sitting wondering whether we had the
energy to move, a hobbie cat ( tiny fast catamaran) came uncomfortably close,
out of control, and hit us! twice! Well, I was not best pleased and asked them
if they could use another part of the ocean, anyway, shorftly afterwards they
capsized, I went in the dinghy and offered them a tow as nobody else seemed
bothered, they said no, but the girl did actually apologise for hitting us
earlier. We left that horrid place and motored in choppy seas around to this fab
place, Rogiznica, completely sheltered anchorage, bliss, anchored next to a
super yacht with all the toys, quiet supper, bottle of wine, scrabble in a
minute and bed, another day of highs and lows, thats boating I
guess.
