A week with Tom and Faye around Dubrovnik

June 2nd-June 7th

We  provisioned the boat and got ready to go then headed north in a lively sea back up to Mljet. The forecast was grim and we needed a sheltered place to enjoy whilst 3 days of gales and storms passed through. Mljet offered shelter and the National Park to enjoy. We hiked and visited the Monastery on the island in the lake, we explored in the dinghy and the hardy ones went snorkelling. Most importantly we did celebrate the Queen’s Jubilee with a very fine bottle of champagne, courtesy of Tom.

As the weather improved we had a good sail to Sipan and enjoyed a gourmet meal at Marko’s Restaurant in Sipanska Luka.

From there we anchored off a beach for a day of swimming and sunbathing, before heading for Dubrovnik once again. Our last night altogether was at anchor in Luka Zaton, just 3 miles from the Marina where we were to deposit Faye on Thursday 7th for her return flight home.

It was not long before John and Ada, our friends from Farnham, arrived to spend the next week with us. Tom has a later flight and returns on Friday 8th June, when we plan to travel further south and out of Croatia.

  1. Looks like you are had a marvelous time with your kids. You guys celebrated the Queen’s jubilee with much better weather than those in London. :>)
