Hi all,
This time from a boat in the Adriatic. We have settled into a pattern now....up around 6am for a walk in the little town we are moored at and find a coffee. The boat leaves at 8am and that is when breakfast is also served. It is simple fare so we supplemented with the local bakery for a roll and a slice of cheese and a slice of prociutto. We pull in for a swim stop around lunch time, although it was only a handful of hardy men who went in yesterday. The water is probably NZ temps and it was quite cool day yesterday (maybe up to 17/18?). Today is nicer and sunnier so may make 20. Last night we were moored in Korkula, a restored/preserved medieval town on an island.. It was stunning from all angles and all lights. We sat for dinner on the water front watching the sun go down and the fishing boats come in...magic. Most of the food is sea food of course. Barry had an octopus stew and I had handmade macaroni with gargonzola cheese...yum! We get a cooked lunch on board....not much to write home about but edible. The wine on board isn’t up to much either, so it will cause me to not bother too much.
Dad you would love here, the yachts tied up right in the middle of town, and the many islands to hop from on eto the other. It reminds me of the Bay of Islands except for the historic towns and the stark Central Otago like mountains in behind. Let’s say the water is flat like the Bay of Islands.
The people on board are nice...mostly retired or nearly retired folk like ourselves!!!
A large NZ contingent a few Aussies, an Irish couple and a German couple, 21 in all.
I will up-load some photos once I am on a faster speed somewhere.
