(B)Logging Off, For the carnival is over and we must say goodbye!!! We are sitting in Changi Airport at Singapore after a pretty reasonable flight from Amsterdam enroute to Brisbane (after a five hour layover!!). Thought it was an opportune time to post our last blog for our trip and let you know a bit about our last few days O/S. We had our last morning in Croatia having breakfast at our very nice hotel and another great feast was provided by our very gracious hosts. We had planned to leave relatively early to make sure we could find the airport [View Full Entry]

Hello from Samobor, (V.O.T.I.T.C to the west of Zagreb, north Croatia) Hello Blogettes, I am sitting up in the very comfortable family apartment at the Hotel Livadic in the township of Samobor, details of which will follow in due course. Well after the Croatian National Army and Navy were called in to get me off the boat, we made land again and settled up our boat account and took stock of the fact that somehow we had to make our way from Sukosan to Zagreb where we had to catch a flight on the 14th of May, back to Amsterdam via [View Full Entry]

Well hello Blogettes. It is with a heavy heart that I am writing my blog this morning. It is the morning of the 10th of May and we are sitting inside the Astra Yachting section of Marina Dalmajica and we have to leave the boat in a couple of hours. We arrived here last night, opting to have our last night in the marina; get the boat fuelled up and fill her with water and have a chance to get packed up, and organised in some form of orderly fashion rather than a last minute panic and *^$% fight. Taking up [View Full Entry]

Blogging from Split 5 May 2008 Hello everyone, we are currently in the ACI Marina in Split Harbour having arrived here yesterday afternoon. Taking up from our last blog, we bunkered down in Vbroska for the morning and inquired about hiring some bikes from our mate the Harbourmaster who the cruising guide advised was the friendliest and most helpful harbourmaster in all of Croatia - the guide wasn’t wrong. Nothing was a problem to him and shortly after, the bike shop owner arrived at the boat and 4 high quality mountain bikes were ours from 12 noon to 8.00pm for 40 [View Full Entry]

On the road from Vbroska to Jelsa, Island of Hvar

Dobra Utero (Good morning) from Vbroska on the island of Hvar Fortunate for us, we have been able to find some more internet connection relatively quickly compared to our previous island hideaways. We are now tucked in nice and secure against the town wharf of a little village called Vbroska which is on the north side of the Island of Hvar. As the regular blog readers know, we last blogged from Korcula Old Town and were making plans to leave the next day being the 26th of April. There were murmurings amongst the crew that another day in Korcula might be [View Full Entry]

Well I thought so
Korcula

Hello from Korcula Town on Korcula Island Sorry we have not blogged for some time, I think in fact it is the longest blog break of the trip. Simple fact is we have been unable to get decent internet access since we left Trogir and arrived in Korcula Town. So, just to jog your blog memories, we last wrote to you at length from Trogir which was on the mainland just north of Split. Our last day/night in Trogir was spent bunkering down out of the cold and wet and we left very early on the morning of the 16th heading [View Full Entry]

Hello from Trogir (Just north of Split) Tuesday the 15th of April. Well I am sitting in my nice warm saloon with the heater running, nice hot cup of coffee, Debsy is tucked up in bed with her coffee and her book and the girls are sound asleep and it is ten past nine in the morning. Any idea what the weather might be like outside?? Listen intently and you can hear the wind howling through the rigging and the sound of rain falling onto the deck, if you try hard you might also feel the boat rocking beneath you.

Hello from our new home, our yacht ‘Paulina’ Well it is now Friday the 11th of April and I haven’t put up a blog since the 4th. Simple reason is we have been out in the boonies and the internet is still thought of in the same vein as putting man on mars!!. So, since we last posted….. that was the morning after we left Dubrovnik and caught our bus from Dubrovnik to Sukosan, about 400 klms to the north where we picked up our boat. The bus was a reasonably old style coach, quite comfortable and another travel experience for [View Full Entry]

Recognise the caps?

Hello Everyone, Just a very quick hello to say we are now on the boat, had a long but enjoyable bus trip yesterday and arrived late last night. Spent the night on the boat and the day going into the markets and provisioning her. The boat is beautiful. We are heading out into the Kornati Island group which is very remote and very few,if any facilities so it might be a few days before we get a chance to do a big blog!!!. We have our crew caps courtesy of Lloyd, Angelic, Rubes and Phoebe as well as our special Pirate [View Full Entry]
