Good morning everyone! Good news: we’ve now properly started our trip and have arrived in Dubrovnik 🙂
On Sunday morning, we received some help to unblock our steering wheel and left the harbour in the afternoon. Sailing to Dubrovnik took us around 24 hours and everything went pretty smoothly. The winds were very Croatian, unpredictability changing direction and switching from no wind at all to rather strong winds. This, the proximity to the coast and sailing at night time rendered the whole sail quite interesting and fun!

And now ?
We’re now at an anchorage near Dubrovnik and will spend a few days here to discover the city and surroundings. Our next plans would be to go further south in the Adriatic, ideally towards Corfu. The current wind forecasts show winds going south until Friday night, which is ideal for us. After that, the winds shift and go North which would make the journey considerably more difficult. That’s why our idea would be to leave on Thursday, plain south, in direction Brindisi in Italy. After that, if the winds are still favorable, we could continue westwards and reach Corfu. Of course, depending on how the weather evolves, we might adapt our plans again 🙂
Good to hear that the boat is fixed and you could finally set sail for your journey! The pic shows that the conditions are quite exciting for sailing and that you won‘t need any fuel for now. Enjoy Dubrovnik, looking forward to your next update 🙂
