The journey from Corfu to Dubrovnik was a long enduring one.   We went without stopping for 38 hours before arriving to Dubrovnik.

Jokes were told, riddles solved, and movies were watched to help us pass the time.  The threat of Albanian pirates gave us some romantic hope of fending off the bad guys in the event of an attack…..none appeared.  The Hungry Helmsman (Peter) whipped up a delicious savory chicken curry that filled our bellies several times over.

25 June - After the epic journey, we were all knackered and went out for a seafood feast in the old town.  All three of us were extremely impressed with this lovely city and we walked around for a little while before heading back for a night cap on the Lady.

26 June – Roger had decided to call it quits on the Lady Drake and hired a car and split to split (pun intended).  We were now down to two on the Lady and although it was disheartening to lose a friend for the rest of the journey, we did not let it bring us down.  We found a great spot to enjoy margaritas and pizza (not a margarita pizza!) with a spectacular view of the castle and the Adriatic.  Later in the evening we opened up Latino Club Fuego at 2300 and closed it down at 600 the next day.  In between those hours several Jack Daniels and Slivovice were downed, mindless conversations were had, and dancing moves were nailed.
