Having had their fill of waterfalls and Nigel’s famous seafood spaghetti, Pam and Alan were up for a trip out to the Kornati Islands. The wind was, as ever, on the nose, wherever we decided to go. We stopped conveniently at Vodice overnight before setting off for the southern tip of the Kornati islands. The wind was not in our favour and so the decision was made to divert north on a close reach to the island of Zut, with a view to entering the Kornati chain from the top. We stopped on a buoy on Zut for the night.
The next day we ventured through the narrow channel heading for Lake Telascica and another overnight buoy. From here we went ashore to walk alongside the inland lake and then up to view the magnificent and unusual (for Croatia) cliffs!
Next day, with plenty of wind, we sailed under the jib only down the Kornati chain to Vrluje where we moored up alongside at Konoba Robinson. We had visited this place before and been greeted by a fine and very jolly old gentleman, the maitre d’ . We had learned that sadly he had died in a boating incident and his business partner was now running the establishment. The service and food did not disappoint and we ate one of the best St Pierre fish ever! We had climbed the hill opposite to give us an appetite and from the top there were wonderful affording views north and south up the Kornati channel. It was stunning. We were on the top of the world!
The time was nigh to begin our return journey and the winds dictated that we retrace our steps and sail from the island of Zut, south to the bottom of Pasman Island and round to Biograd on the mainland. All was well, gentle winds, a lunchtime anchorage, a fast reach across to Pasman and then we hit nearly 30knots to beat up the Pasman channel. Arriving at Biograd was not only exciting but quite a relief! Next day home to Sukosan and we have to say farwell to Pam and Alan tomorrow. Their taxi arrives at a rude 6.30am! We have had a lovely ten days with them and enjoyed their great company. Hope they will be able to come again one day.
