Dreaming of Croatia

This morning got our juices flowing! We met some other cruisers up in the ‘library’ to hear a talk about sailing in Albania, Montenegro and Croatia! It was given by a woman who spent two seasons in Croatia a couple of years ago. She gave the low down on procedures for checking in and out of ports, places to avoid and places not to miss. Everyone says it is breathtaking and magnificent. The only downside is that it can be expensive and people have their little scams for trying to get your money. But if you are ‘canny’ then you can avoid the pay offs and get by with spending very little, especially if you spend most of your time on anchor. This gives us the motivation to get the boat more energy efficient so we don’t drain our batteries after only a few nights. Solar panels and a marine refrigerator (under the counter) may be on the list of next projects. I hope we have enough money left once we are on the water… ! The day ended nicely with another pizza and movie night (get used to this).
