TROGIR---Krknjasi Islets---VIS (30 NM) Sesula Cove Rogacic Cove
|
| |
Leaving Trogir you start to think about stopover options
on the way to Vis. After six miles you have opportunity to
swim on the anchorage in between Krknjaši islets. It is well
sheltered from winds blowing from W and NW. Avoid it when
blowing from E and SE, if is so you can proceed to anchorage
northwestward of Saskinja islet, also nice place for swim
brake. Ten minutes separates you from the cove of Sesula,
nature's sheltered anchorage, even safe for over night stay.
If you would not like to stop at the beginning of the leg,
choose 23 miles far Rogačić cove on the Vis island. It is
quiet small bay just two miles away from town of Vis, where
you going to spend night. Find mooring in the SW part of the
harbour. Facilities - mooring lines, fuel, electric power,
pharmacy, medical service, restaurants, and grocery. Water
in limited supply. *Before then you set off Vis, take look
at weather forecast, and be sure that you would not be caught
in strong SE. In the case of sirocco we suggest you to change
itenerary. Stay another day in Vis or turn your bow towards
Stončica cove, well protected anchorage and very good departure
point to reach Palmižana, from where you can proceed to Vela
Luka.

Islet |
| |
Sail along
south-east shore of island and make decision to stop after hour
and half or reach island of Korcula first. Budikovac islet is
thirteen miles from Komiza, nice stop over for swimming as well
as cove of Zaglav, situated half mile away. Alternatively proceed
to islet of Proizd. Anchor in narrow passage eastern of islet,
later in the afternoon head for Vela Luka, small town situated
on the head of the bay. The harbour is sheltered from all winds,

PASADUR---Zaklopatica Cove---POMENA (27 NM) . Saplun Islet |
| |
Sail around
islet of Prezba and follow the north coast of Lastovo. Enter
to Zaklopatica cove using the eastern passage. This is small
pretty cove, very sheltered except in bora (NE). This is also
the best departure point to reach the town of Lastovo, of course
if you want to stretch your legs. In the swimming season you
should not miss Saplun islet and its lagoon on the north side
of the islet. Approach to the lagoon from the northeast direction.
Drop the anchor and enjoy in clear blue water. In the afternoon
continue to head east to Mljet. Mljet is beautiful wooded island
and place where Odysseus was kept prisoner for seven years by
the nimph Calipso. Pomena is the main tourist resort on the
island, therefore is difficult to find berth along the seafront
outside the hotel. The seafront continues to the wide quay reserved
for numerous day-trip passenger boats. If is quay crowded, anchor
in south part of the bay or on other side off the islet of Pomestak
and take stern lines ashore. The reason behind the crowded quay
is the magical appeal of Mljet's nearby lakes, and you will
certainly not be an exception when it comes to visiting them.
Ten minutes of walking in the deep shade separates you from
the lakes, most beautiful part of the island as a whole, this
area has been designated as a national park. There are two lakes,
Malo and Veliko Jezero, and you will find the water in the smaller
lake is always 3-4 degrees warmer then sea. In the middle of
the larger lake is an islet with Benedictine monastery, which
can be visited by boat, which runs 4 times a day. Facilities
- no other facilities but restaurants. |

KORCULA --- Kneza Bay --- PALMIZANA (36 NM) Scedro Island |

This is
a long leg so plan your day. Our suggestion is to leave Korcula
early in the morning and plan to stop after a one hour (Kneza)
or after 4 - 5 hours of sailing (Scedro). Bay of Kneza is the
nice spot for swimming, there are two islets; Vela and Mala
Kneza and you will choose anchorage depending of prevailing
wind. Scedro is the next stop over option for the lunchtime
on the way to Palmizana. Enter in the cove of Lovisce and anchor
in the side inlets. There are few restaurants open during top
season and that could be also place for over night stay. In
the height of season ACI Marina Palmizana might be very crowded
so try to enter in till 5pm. Palmizana lies in an attractive
bay on St. Klement Island, the largest island in the archipelago
named Paklinski Islands, actually meaning 'Hell Islands' and
it is a favourite destination of boaters in the Adriatic. There
is a water taxi between here and Hvar Town, which usually runs
till 11pm, and this is the best way to visit that touristy and
historic harbour with the oldest public theatre in Europe. Facilities-electric

During
stabile weather conditions the destination for today will be

head for island of Bisevo (if the weather is strong or cloudily
we advice you to avoid it) and its renowned Blue Cave on the
east shore. They are best seen on a sunny day at midday. As
the sun comes overhead, white rocks on the bottom are lit up
from underneath and all the caves turn blue and the water turns
silver. Take your boat and call for guided tour in a fishing
boat and pay few kuna. Do not forget to take masks and snorkels
as you can swim from the fishing boat once inside. It is best
to leave one person on board the boat circling. Do not anchor
in front of the cave, because it is very deep. You can stay
till early afternoon. Keeps on mind that numbers of berths in
Komiža are limited. Breakwater is fitted with mooring lines.
