After sailing with an average speed of less than 2 kn for a couple of days, we unpacked and repaired our blister (a light-wind sail) today and experienced sailing again. However, with no wind at all, also a blister cannot do magic and so we are just drifting around again now. It’s incredibly hot, the boat is rolling, the sails are flapping and we have… Continue reading »

Cruising slowly

by Christian

After the leisurely bay-hopping down the Croatian coast, our trip to Sicily feels like the first real cruising and we’ve quickly got into the rhythm of night watches. With the lovely warm weather we have they’re not tiring, as the watch can play with Leeloo, read a book or watch the impressive night sky. We’ve had very light winds till now, making only 100 nm… Continue reading »

Leaving Croatia

by Christian

Today we cleared out from CRO in Dubrovnik. Our course is towards the strait of Otranto and then towards Sicily. At the moment a very light wind is carrying us southwards. This entry has been sent via HF radio

A busy day

by Christian

Yesterday we decided to drop the anchor after only 16nm in a lovely bay on Scedro we had visited two yars ago. We are not the only ones here this time though. Nevertheless we stayed another day. Today we were busy with all sorts of things

Bora

by Christian

Instead of going out for dinner in lovely Primosten as planned, we had to keep anchor watch because of NE gusts of over 30kn. During the night most of the boats in the bay dragged their anchors (bad holding ground) and one of them almost rammed us. Pitufa’s anchor held well.

Becalmed again

by Christian

Day started with good winds for our SE course. Those faded away after only 12 nm and we were becalmed again. Dropped anchor at another lovely place. Lentil curry for dinner.

Still no wind

by Christian

Again not much progress today. Still near the Kornati archipelago. Found another lovely anchorage for tonight. Prosecco with peaches as sundowner.

Wonderland, but no wind…

by Christian

Our progress today was only 7nm. The super-stable high-pressure field brings superb weather, though not really for sailing. Dropped anchor at another beautyful spot close to Kornati.

We are sailing!

by Christian

We managed to sail off at last. We left Pula around noon and are now approaching our first anchorage on the island of Unije after a perfect sailing day!

Moved in

by Christian

Finally we’ve moved in our new home Pitufa. We have emptied our flat in Austria (hell of a task), but dozens of jobs remain on the boat. anyway, now we’ve got time to do them

Shopping Tour

by Christian

The last couple of weeks we’ve been busy ordering all sorts of boat equipment: water maker, sails, life raft, mast steps and thousands of little but important items. There is so much to think of… While loading our boat with tons of needful things, we are throwing off ballast like memberships, insurances, standing orders, furniture, etc. It’s such a relief! Less than two months to… Continue reading »
