last time on Kauai we left Croatia for
the beautiful Bay of Kotor this week we
sailed to the lady of the rocks farewell
and welcomed new crew finally get some
sunshine and enjoy this underrated part
of the world one of my favorite things
about sailing is being able to anchor in
spectacular locations kotor was no
different and after exploring the old
town it was time to sail to a new
location before Jase's parents had to
leave
although Couture's encourages amazing
there is a changing daily scenery of
cruise ships and mega yachts and we were
looking forward to a sail oh babe yes
then imported getting back out on the
water I am I'm very excited it's been a
little while and there's a bit of wind
predicted sorry should get to sail even
though it's not very far it is tough to
procced and lady of the rocks today but
better than nothing
so yeah it should be good day we'll be
let's go
[Music]
[Music]
[Music]
[Music]
to get to Lady of the rocks from the
mainland most people are fairly crossed
by a small boat from porosity we plan to
do it ourselves from kawaii with tres
holding the fort on the boat
we made it all with my butt's but we are
here lady the rocks just don't kill me
my cross - yeah Thank You Tube good good
every newly Scott said lady the rocks is
an artificial island created by a
combination of sunken ships and rocks
according to legend upon returning from
successful voyages seamen would lay a
rock in the bay and over time the
islands were formed
the tourists seem to be more interested
in our tiny tender than lady of the
rocks with one of them even blessing us
as we left so little faith in our tender
captain right
[Music]
unfortunately the time had now come to
say farewell to JC's parents oh you
better do that again for the camera yeah
not too bad
my parents have just left so it's a bit
sad but we had a good three weeks with
them and got I guess who they lots of
really cool memories so that's something
to be happy about we're gonna head to a
new Anchorage for a couple of days just
to chill out and then they head back to
Couture to pick up my mate rich oh I
used to play sport with him when I was a
kid and went to school with him so be
great to see him and his wife Nicole so
yeah we're looking forward to that as
well so yeah it's gonna be it's gonna be
a great great week Hey
[Music]
place we don't know
about to see
what we can be
with no distractions
good morning morning well if you're
wondering how I am I'm great and they
were just sitting back having a coffee
and taken in this glorious day we don't
even I don't know the Anchorage where we
are it's just we're in Montenegro
stumbled across this place and it's
amazing and we're just sharing it with
this massive yacht which I don't know
how big that is
it's over 90 foot and yeah just feel
really lucky to be doing this
yeah possibly I was just checking out
where we are anchored it is called you
barlas suit bar near a little town
called Marin yay I'm not sure the
pronunciation of that one and it's a
really good anchor it got mud bottom so
the holding is really good it's really
calm there's been no swell not much wind
at all and there's very few boats around
so it's been very relaxing here we've
really enjoyed it and sailing wise I'd
say it's a little bit inconsistent it's
calm most of the times the large
mountains block the wind so you'd really
have to pick your day that you want to
go somewhere oh it's just gone winter
one day some of the next it's finally
here you're getting to swim
yes swim how is it yeah beautiful oh oh
so it's just gone June and this is the
first sunny hot day we've had and
speaking to the locals in Croatia and
Montenegro they've all said that it's
one of the worst winters and springs
that they've had so we're pretty excited
to see the Sun beautiful really nice
finally finally some finally what's
going on at hee
it's taking the beautiful night it's
been a cracking day we're just
practically swum all day a little bit
burnt but yeah this is a nice way to
finish it off you've just cooked cooked
dinner chicken and broccoli with a
bitter wasabi and soy so healthy and
tasty very tasty but yeah magical night

zigzagged up behind the fort a much
longer hike up into the clouds the trail
and old Military Trail was built by the
Austrians and has spectacular views over
Couture there is a restaurant and more
unreal views to the ocean at the top
