Had an interesting night in Bolovisce on the island
of Brac, a stunningly beautiful inlet and a small quay and village, went for
supper at the local grill, no menu, just meat or fish and vegetables, local wine
and no price list, big mistake, never again, get a price because we had some ok
but not great wine , some ok but not great fish and a bowl of sloppy potatoes
and courgettes, poor Carol only had the sloppy veg and Rufus is 5 so doesn't eat
much, the bill? £100, not really fair, but our mistake. We got back to the boat
to find that someone had left a tap on and our 300 litres of water were in the
ocean, we didn't have a drop!, next morning I filled our 25 litre can at the
quay a couple of times for tea and breakfast use and we shot off at 1000,
after a chat with some friends on 'Froggy' who told us they and everyone
else were approached by a couple of lads the evening before demanding money for
anchoring in the harbour, they refuded, quite rightly, and were told the police
would be informed, nothing further occurred and it is obvious that the lads were
trying it on, apparently a lot of boats paid up though. We hopped across to
Stomorska on the Island of Solta and tied up to the Quay for an hour and filled
with water and a quick charge of power, did some shopping and the harbour master
charged us nothing, nice. Lovely afternoon and night in Neculjam at anchor with
the kids all swimming madly and getting Rufus really keen on snorkelling. Off to
Martina Kastela in the morning for 'changeover day'!!
