Our last day on the yacht.

 

  It's hard to believe that our two week sailing trip is almost over. Today is our last on the yacht and we will be sorry to have to return to land!!!!  The weather hasn't been quite as kind to us as we had hoped for but that also brings its own rewards as well as challenges.   Too much wind means just the motor as it can be too difficult and takes too long with the sails. But it does mean the washing dries!!

    A couple of nights ago we were in what was supposed to be a very sheltered marina for Hvar.  It was the worst night's sleep for the whole trip as the yacht moved and crashed and banged!! Poor Rob was up through the night checking nothing was being damaged.   

Havr is a beautiful town and once again has a large fortification, this time up on the hill above the town. It has been restored in recent times and is now used as a tourist attraction, as well as for functions such as weddings. It is a good walk but worth it for the views over the town.  

 

A wedding party in the town which was destined for the fortifications for the party.      

Next stop was Milna.  A very sheltered little bay where we were able to get some much needed sleep, after the night before.  From here we sailed to Split where we have spent the night in the marina. We are so glad we did as our first experience into Split at the start of the trip was wet, and very crowded. We were able to walk from the marina into the main part of town where we wandered the streets, soaked up the atmosphere and then enjoyed a meal. The waterfront has been redeveloped with lots of seating and wide promenades. Auckland could learn a lot.
