A sailing trip to the Outer Hebrides I always seemed interesting, but I could never bring themselves. That we would experience similar conditions, when we sail in June in the Adriatic, I would have even thought of before.
Saturday 3 June, 03:40 clock. My brother Chris and his Chrysler Voyager are 10 minutes late at the door. Oh man! I hope it stays this stuff somewhere between American and Sveti Rok Bosiljevo lying on the roadside.
air temperature 6 ° C. At least Plus.
Shortly rise to Ingrid and Dieter. It starts to drizzle slightly.
According to legend Ingrid be a weather witch. Ingrid, naša vremenska Vještica!
Hopefully they dominated their craft.

Plesaj, vremenska Vještica, plesaj! - Dance, weather witch dance! And pull yourself together.
Armano welcomed us warmly. The Travarica is excellent. The tape passed faster than a sip of brandy. The Bavaria 42 cruiser "Kudica is located on the first berth. The log shows 154 nm!
Čevapčiči and the best salad of all trips in the wine cellar "odmor. Shopping, give the ship and the first box Karlovacko pivo.
The Skipper: Karl, Captain Karlovacko
The Crew: Astrid, Ingrid
Šefica Sefa, Vremenska Vještica
Christian, Sundowner-mate Dietmar
: Moses
clock 16:45. Cast off! Machine 1000 rpm.
clock 17:00, logs 154.8 nm: Before the captain can command the first exercise, in debt of Moses, Pütz-overboard maneuver. Despite successful maneuver to wait the swallowing maneuvers, as always first come the turn of the gods. A generous sip of Jameson Irish Whiskey falls overboard: "I ask Neptune and Poseidon and Aeolus and Aegir and all the gods of the winds and the seas around a nice trip" Only now must swallow the crew.
little wind. Nevertheless, Moses learns of the main and genoa set and we can even reach speeds of more than 1 knot, but the sails again.
Bobovišća In all buoys are gone. The pier is crowded. A young, friendly mooring nazornik beckons us into the back and asks us to anchor.
Huh? With all the Moorings of the fishing boats? Yes, yes.
Three minutes later, is firmly against the Kudica Bower on the quay at Bobovišća.
After spaghetti with seafood, bass served salad and we learn about Max and Richard from Switzerland, making two funny guys who are the people, the holder of the America's Cup, all the glory. Ahoy, Alinghi! Cheers and Živjeli! - What we have laughed.
is supposedly the last crew member went to bed at 02:00 clock, but certainly has forgotten to turn off the CD player. When I get up at 06:30, the Flippers still sing two white sails and flamingos. Short ashore for some crew members. At 10:20 on the clock's anchor. As feared, he has got caught in a Fischerbootmooring, we come relatively easily and quickly released. Twenty minutes later and a mile are young and Genoa, and the machine is turned off. Hurrah!
Shortly after crossing the Splitska Vrata Astrid burns at the helm of Bavaria establishes a 44er, it only smokes so, after which the Moses gain first rowing experience. Actually would be because of his knowledge and yesterday his fate so far shown a promotion sailors attached to the light, but he refused to remain persistent and Moses.
The Sundowner-mate yesterday blocked under the influence of alcohol his cell phone. Hehehe.
Anyway, why I married a woman who has such an old brother?
glorious sailing in light northwest and heading 190 ° to the island of Vis. Dobra Vještica!
exactly four hours after the "anchor on" we are determined to a mooring on the quay in Kut, where are our friends Mary and Michi from Villach their catamaran "Shalimar II expect ". The tavern "Vatrica" would be tempting, but we only drink a beer, because it is our goal, once to sail together in the Uvala Stončica and our friends, sitting to the Brothers and Pavo Tripo Linćir together.
Uvala Stončica: The Moses is the dinghy and a rope suspended from country to attach the anchor to quickly maneuver one aft country festivals can. There he must now wait one and a half hours. As long as I try in vain to put the vessel so anchored, as I am used to. The gods do not want. Finally, I leave far out in the bay to 17 m water depth 60 m anchor chain out. The Moses is with Michael's help off again borrow from the island and says. "Say's Friday 'to me"
's joy and Pavo Tripo is great.
There is today not only lamb, for the Pavo famous, but also koslić - Kitz! Fantastic.
also turns a odojak, a suckling pig on the comrades from the volunteer fire Vis spit.
We let the heroes of the Battle of Lissa, the Viska bitka (not to be confused with Viska ... ...) cheers, and determine that it is Pentecost Sunday, the day was given to the people the ability to speak, in all languages and all to understand language.
The suckling pig was too much for the vatrogasci. We must help it to eat. Even the kitchen staff gets his share.
What a beautiful evening.
Michael brings our crew on board, I stay with my šefica a bit. Then we row with loud singing sea shanties to Croatian Kudica because the outboard is running, the gearbox but has a loss and jumping out of gear again and again. When boarding the Kudica I need Astrid's help. Result: slight injury to the leg of šefica.
The next morning we have breakfast. Michael and Maria walk to the lighthouse and create for Freise - that is the combination of Friday and Moses - wine herb preparation with the liquor. May it do Carinthian Travarica!
The opposite of good is well meant. A stainless steel anchor chain 10 is of course better than an 8 galvanized chain. But because the stainless steel 10 chain is much heavier than the other breaks a role in anchoring and disappear in the floods. We need three of an hour is provisionally fixed to the anchoring system.
Because I do a complete exhaustion invention: The skipper of the day. This has to bother the main skipper only in really urgent cases, and otherwise to do everything yourself. The skipper of the day is called Astrid.
Actually, we all wanted to Lastovo. Shortly after the agreed drop us but Mary that she will sail to and Michi Šćedro. A cat can not Gnags like a monohull. (. Creating Not so much to the wind)
We make a short digression on the Croatian Language:
pila (plural: pile) is a young chicken, suitable for roasting or grilling;
Kokoš is an old hen, a chicken soup that is suitable only for the eponymous purpose.
Conclusion: The fact that I said yes to our brave Vještica no coconut!
The Sundowner-mate wanted to advertise Kärntnermilch, unfortunately was a Packerl "The slight moo" to be found. Whether the dairy Maresi us this photo is sponsoring, I do not know. taken
While Shalimar II has a more northerly course has to be able to sail with us last course 90 degrees to amuse us. The air is so clear and pure, the distance vision so fantastic that we can see Palagruža. Palagruža, my dream destination. Is it a good omen that I see the island? In August I want to go.
between Vela Luka and the Rt Velo Dance we approach the island of Korcula. The skipper of the day goes quick succession two elegant turns, then the wind begins to suffer fatigue. We start the machine, but allow the sails to trim and stability purposes above.
Just before the goal, the Uvala Zaklopatica, I check my ability to conjure and change successfully the smell of the air.
And despite wind!
clock 18:35. The private quay at the "Triton" is packed. Tonci shows us a View to a bit outside the actual quay area. Mooring's anyway. We are between two boats with Croatian crews.
The wonderful dinner before by instead of a fine sunset. As always, many different appetizers, including marinated tuna and, of course, red risotto
As you told me the next day I was the last guest.
A woman from the port side neighbors welcomed me, "Dobro jutro, Captain! Captain utrnujan "(Good morning, captain! Asleep captain).
The Freise is the skipper of the day. Already ten clock it goes to the Lastovnjaci, our favorite spa Platzl.
As we approach the islands, it is more black in the southeast.
If the storm is upon us, or not?
a scary sight. She moved to the north. Thromb bubbling under the sea as if it would cook. A micro-islands, more or less a gravel bank in the sea, takes the waterspout her swing and she collapses. Also, the storm moved to the North in Orebic, to where we want to go. So better wait and swimming.
At one, the weather is much better. After Orebić. We start the engine for the windless, then immediately set the sails and off you go fast with a quad from East.
is
are set at four, we at the mooring in the port of Orebic.
Besides us, only two small motor boats at the pier.
Unfortunately, the tavern "Mlinica" too. (Seasonal).
We start, therefore, a city tour and found near the church, the tavern "Babilon" in which we very good food. Salata od hobotnice, patties, pola-pola, meso and mješano stejk.
I wanted to walk to the monastery at six Dieterich with the captain of the cemetery and then pick up fresh pastries, but when I get up before ten six, the fresh bread is already there.
go to the monastery and the skipper Freise anyway.
Knapp is under the monastery's new tavern: "Kod Viktora. Looks very inviting from.
Shall I certainly try again.
We buy Karlovacko pivo, tomatoes and tonic. Thereafter, the Sundowner Maat is declared the skipper of the day and on we go. Port round to Korcula. A little later: The Western Cape is the Peljesac starboard abeam. I will wash the remains of a tomato from the aircraft and again bucket overboard maneuver! The bucket is sranje. After two and a half hours we are
seven nautical miles off Šćedro. All around it thunders.
Finally we can now set sail.
clock 13:20. The Kudica exists Anchor with bow line to the buoy and aft country festivals in the Uvala Glavobolja.
The Shalimar II is located in the adjacent bay. Michael and Mary have come with the dinghy to Stjepko across.
ZUTI, "the Yellow". The young cat sleeps in the headstand.
Slane gire, masline, sir, Bijelo vino. Za za sve večeras jastoga! Bijeloga Jos, Jos bijeloga!
Stjepko has again apartment guests. Eva and Werner from Hinterstoder. Also be checked by the crew for today Shalimar invited to the brunch.
Why should I switch already two clock afternoon the anchor light when I go ashore? I'll always safe once more to ship's back. Yes, at midnight.

have all warned me. The rocks are slippery from the rain. All were paying attention. But the warning Rufer even meet our fate. Crash. The next morning the place looks like the 1348th Dobratsch
(1348 massive earthquake in Carinthia, Friuli and Slovenia. The entire south side of the Dobratsch crashes. Villach by the quake and subsequent fire largely destroyed. Author's note)
Hvala Bogu, thank God. The Vještica has given me her hand. At the pier head is stripped of our weather witch and köpfelt into the sea to bring the dinghy. Hurrah. Also Sundowner mate and skipper on board. We conclude with the šefica with the stark naked Freise. Why has the undressed?
