last week we began our Croatian sailing

journey leaving Dubrovnik and sailing up

the coast towards Cachola we enjoyed

good winds and we reached the wine

region of Lambada and decided to try out

the local ones

this week we sailed to the incredible

pack Lenny Islands before exploring the

party town of hvar we restock Kauai

before enjoying a fun stay in the hvar

anchorage and then we are off to pick up

Jace's parents in branch in super-tall

yeah

just leaving a shed dry off to Kathleen

II it should be a downwind sail out the

knots

we were just talking about how well

we've slept on this boat family yeah

it's not really well until until our

first night crossing it which was about

nine ten days ago and ever since then

I've woken up at least twice a night

wondering where I am and who's in

control boat thinking that we're still

on passage and you have as well maybe

not as much as me but yeah I've had a

few weird dreams I just usually get

woken up by you going where are we the

boat yeah everything we're not I'm

hoping it stops soon it's rather

annoying really for me I only take

well it looks like the season has

started what happened to the rest of you

James

are you my grandpa I'm sure that my

grandpa would ask me that question no no

let's go funny it's a secret Grampa Joe

after completing 13 nautical mile sail

from shed row we arrived in the pack

Lennie islands the islands are located

off the southwest coast of the island of

Hvar and are quiet paradise with many

bays perfect for anchoring there are

restaurants and beach bars ashore really

nice yeah really nice and peaceful and

the waters beautiful turquoise D blue

not quite as well as paxos though so we

were just sitting here enjoying a quiet

sundowner as you call them and Jase is

going to help these guys out they've

heard about just a few attempts at

picking up the mooring ball so he's just

going to help them out it's quite windy

we then cross the channel and headed

towards hvar I shot one nautical mile

trip it was a contrast from the choir

pack Lamia Islands where we had enjoyed

the anchorage mostly to ourselves but

we're looking forward to the vibrancy

and atmosphere of hvar we dropped anchor

and got ready for a day of restocking

kawaii before we could enjoy all that

hvar had to offer

well there's quiet over there we've left

her in the hvar encouraged whilst we go

parisian these are the jobs

to get more fuel unfortunately our draft

is too

deep to get these feel station which

we've found quite regularly yes

Disney an extra meter yeah and so just

the meter to be safe

yeah there's no way that you'd go in

with ten that means no not a chance

well I'm going in to steal a bit of

water from Kyle

it's going to take some Sun yeah bring

the tender in so these are the types of

missions that you so many people really

talk about but now we potentially could

go in and more at the K but it's quite

expensive and now we only need a little

bit of water she's electric anyway so

it's charge but some it shouldn't have

any issues I don't do a couple of tricks

but that's that's pretty cool anyway I

like its tendering incentive ah

[Music]

Wow 66 delicious right we've got our

little tiny all chained up had locked

engine pad locked yeah we're ready to

actually explore her bar today we've

done all their jobs yeah yeah lavera is

one of the most popular destinations in

the adriatic it is known for its history

nightlife and beautiful waters hvar is a

magnet for charter boats from split and

it's easy to see why there are four

different options for sailors in hvar

the first is to anchor at the front in

the Anchorage area second is to tie to a

mooring buoy which costs around 325 Kuna

the third option is to tie up to the

town key which is 650 Kuna the final

option is to anchor or visit a marine

and nearby and get a taxi boat in the

first thing we wanted to check out was

the Spanish fortress overlooking hvar

town construction of the fortress began

in 1282 around the time pirates were

rampaging through the adriatic the

fortress has a lot of history including

the time in 1571 when the entire town

took refuge within the walls as the

Turks attacked and set the town on fire

[Music]

[Music]
