We had a brisk beat from Cavtat to the Boka Kotorska and we hoisted our Montenegro and customs flags as we rounded the forts that dominated the entrance to the famous ‘fjord’.


The scenery all around us was just stunning. The sun drenched mountains aloft just fell into the blue sea and we soon felt enclosed by them as we proceeded into the first of the three main bay areas.

We cleared customs at the new Porto Montenegro marina at Tivat. Warmly welcomed by a fellow Brit yacht with a much coveted bucket of ice, we were obliged to have a gin and tonic there and then! No complaints from the crew, we excitedly made plans to explore this extraordinarily beautiful area.
