Move to the next Island
42:55.8N 17:09.8E Short trip to Otok Vrnik on the eastern end of Otok
Korcula. Just a few hours and we did get a little sailing in for one
hour. The real purpose of this stop was to break up the trip for the next
day. The cove protected by Otok Vrnik is nothing special except that it
is protected from the winds. It is used by the day excursions as a place
for the passengers to take a swim. Surrounding the cove are Holiday
houses that are being upgraded. It was fun watching one owner who decided
that chopping down large pine trees on the property to be used in the
construction of an extension to the existing concrete dock would be the way to
go. A lot of hammering, pounding, drilling and cutting. Something
that Davey Crocket would have been proud of. The anchorage get a number of charter boats coming
here. Need to chase off the ones that anchor too close. In the
morning a couple of boats came together as the winds changed and needed to move
to new spots. Holding is good in sand and some weed. We left the next morning and made our way out of the group
of islands safely as there can be shallow rocks if you are not paying
attention. Anchorage after many of the overnighters have left. |
