Hi there,
 
Ben and Sam Robinson are crewing for me this week on our trip from Venice down to Corfu where I will meet Coleen and MIlo.  We set of around 9am on 22nd and headed for Rovinj in Croatia (position attached).  The sailing was quite calm but we had the wind against us most of the way if there was any and to ensure that we arrived in daylight we had to use the engine quite a lot.
 
Having cleared customs in Rovinj we then moored anchored the boat and had dinner in town.  The bay was very full and we had to anchor in rather deep water near the marina but it held OK over night.  Returning from a quick shopping trip the next morning we found the anchor had started to drag so we made a quick exit and headed down toward Pula.
 
Next update coming soon
