Chaos in Cavtat

The Diary of Sonsy Lass

Alex & June Laidlaw

Thu 6 Jun 2013 09:39

Tuesday 4th June. Whilst we were staying in Cavtat we had hoped to visit Dubrovnic however things didn't go to plan. 3 yachties (including us) tied up to the harbour wall between 2 very large super yachts. One of which departed mid morning dragging our 3 anchors with it, pulling one anchor chain completely off one of the yachts. Fortunately we had plenty of chain to let off so we were ok. The afternoon was then spent in recovery mode retrieving our friends anchor and chain, not a simple task when its to be done manually! We decided that this was not a safe place to tie up to so moved out to the bay and anchored. By which time it was too late to go to Dubrovik. After a quick trip ashore for food and wine we then settled in for a quiet night.
