How is Greece or Croatia for new bareboat skippers?

Just back from two nights in Palorous. Sadly the curry house chef is gone home. Now what will I do for my monthly curry fix. He was very good and seemingly he’s not coming back

Med mooring is actually easier than alongside and safer and less risk of damage

Useful tips go bow in to judge depth , see if lazy lines or anchor, size up the neighbours. Then back out and do the med moor . Always be aware of rubble at the base of the quay wall

This year was “ bonanza “ flotilla year , Neilson doubled theirs as did sailing holiday and odyssey’s. I was drinking with pip and Jordan from palorous and they were absolutely knackered after the season

Pip and Jordan are brilliant - I’m not surprised they are knackered! They run the flotilla for the benefit of the sailors, working their nuts off.

! Say hi from Dan the airline pilot (sailed Coral late July)

They are crossing the Atlantic on a luxury cat as crew at the moment.

I’m helping sorting out their boat over the winter.

Will say hi , they’ll be back at Christmas

Just back from my week long trip out of Trogir on an Ultra-Sailing Elba 45. It was a fantastic week. Great winds most days despite the lack of wind shown on Windy and PredictWind.

Managed a couple of Med moorings no problem
The slime lines make it not too difficult but I didn't have any strong cross winds and I didn't have to squeeze between 2 boats as there was always plenty of space.

Mostly we were in quiet bays using anchor and stem to shore lines. It really was a great experience and thoroughly recommend it.

You can't do better than Sailing-Ultra as a bare boat outfit there.

Next time I want to go for 2 weeks and do a one way charter.

Thanks again for all the tips.

Cheers,
