Happy Fathers' Day

---

From Trogir we sailed through the mostly uninhabited Kornati Islands visiting Kakan, Zut, and Iz on our way back to Zadar. The weather was mixed but we did manage to play with the blister for a few hours and keep the engine hours to a minimum. The water is warming by mid-June (23 degrees C) and swimming off the back of the boat and sunbathing au naturel is common in Crotia.

Croatia is crazy about soccer and, in addition to eliminating England in the preliminary rounds to Euro 2008, they now are top of their pool. HD big screen tv's are to be found everywhere including the smallest of bars. We watched Croatia defeat Germany 2-1 in a small bar in Iz much to the bewilderment of the mostly German audience.

On Saturday we returned Zweigelt to the marina in Zadar, said farewell to our friends and crew, Keith, Karin & Bill, and took the Jadrolinja ferry to Ancona, Italy: a six-hour trip. Then by train to Bologne. So here we are at Albergo Centrale for a couple of days.
