This week we sail from Slano to Split over 3 days. We are fortunate that there is strong wind from Korcula which makes for a fun fast sail to Split. Day 1 we...

last week on Kauai we celebrated Jason's
birthday Montenegro sorted out some
minor boat issues and then left
Montenegro for Croatia this week we sail
up the Croatian Coast towards split and
experience some of the best sailing
conditions we have had so far away with
three days of good winds a little swell
we loved every minute of the trip and
arrived in plenty of time to pick up my
brother maybe some crazy-ass weather
we've seen some in here is a little bit
of wind like the last two days is before
or something like that anyway all
speculation all right well let's get the
sails up we're leaving Solana to
different coffee styles on Kauai
Tracy's is the maka well I just boil
some water and have instant and no both
work sales are up and it's just about
toner coffee love it

it's not too bad we're cruise long we've
got four days to get up to split so we
taking it easy we just really don't want
to motor so we're just using utilizing
whatever wind we can get and we are
moving forward yeah I guess we're almost
the winds are usually blowing from the
north so it's just what we have to do
but yeah it's on the beam today so
that's good yeah another cracker make it
you just fainted but I'm all wrong
because you've just fixed our annoying
really annoying it led to two purple
pink there at the vaccine to a fixed it
for now so it's not - we need em flying
off yet so good time then think good pig
so the peasants don't move yet for
another one on million
what's happening Oh attacking looking on
that way which way we went to begun we
need to get their spine it's you know
it's been I think we've been on the
water for maybe 10 hours so been tacking
all day people might get frustrated with
that but how about good fun really good
fun and yeah hopefully this is one of
our last tax yeah we'll see about that
won't we
what is it it's Betty Sun doesn't
go down too late so honey it's an plenty
of time we get there
anchor in Croatia where there's no boats
we decided on the Anchorage of Russia's
we wouldn't stay long as there were
strong winds predicted early so we
pulled up the hook and enjoyed the Sun
rising this is our favorite time of day
you really feel alive watching it come
to life over the water
don't be fooled guys this is not an old
clip of winter and July
traces in a beanie we had to get up
pretty early this morning and it is a
little bit chilly the last couple of
days and the wind is howling through my
ears so you kindly got my beanie yeah
so we got up early we look 40 nautical
miles to go from torture like to
we're trying to make the most of the
winds because we've got three days of
winds in all different directions but it
still winds and yeah we're trying to get
up sleep in those three days because
after that there's about four or five
days with no wheels
I make the most of it yeah we should be
able to throw the salad at any second
as
turn the corner into the straight yeah
so pretty excited about that
or the flag has gone nuts behind it
that's a good sign it is
I'll leave you to it we've been at these
out lately hold on there babe
a little bit ahead South Lawn
[Music]
[Music]

[Music]
[Music]
got us through the hardest parts I think
you got up to eight point five dots and
yeah we're like frozen man yeah and the
way is crazy being so that makes it
really nice it's such a short distance
to the shore so they don't have time to
build so that's fun
yeah a little bit darker I don't really
see that well but beautiful I'm pretty
happy with yourself
yeah the sounds are all set looking
pretty good
[Music]
there is a life valley and you see the
glory in the cup mighty I can take what
I need to get by doesn't make it easy
now
that guy me together take me back with a
beer I had a feeling it is all faded so
we have continued our sale we've
boycotted hot cleaning islands and haha
due to overcrowded this and really no
good Anchorage's that were for our
liking everyone was really close and
there's no swing room and it was bombed
20 so we have continually am sailing
across the things for the hvar strait
between a bar and branch and hopefully
we've been here a few times there's a
couple of little sneaky Anchorage's that
we like hopefully they are free plan
anyway
will you disclose anything creative yeah
we have they're not even see but hvar
impact Laney is just all the cool Peru
so that's another reason we couldn't
stop in the bar
if I had my beard still yeah we would
have gotten a path mm oh yeah not the mo
the beard maybe but no it's a pretty
cool style like we had a great day today
we smashed it up you get here around
lunchtime so you know sailing day isn't
it it's put a festive hat on the best
anyway yeah we do think yeah we'll get
here early but will it won't be that
light when we get to practice just
hopefully we can get ink of it putting
down Sir Michael see the encourage of
branch was with stark contrast to hvar
we had anchored at you vile smoker
before and depending on how many boats
are around you have the option of time
off to shore or swinging in the bay we
decided to swing as we trust our anchor
and had arrived a little late in the day
the Anchorage is known for its submarine
garages and while the winds were blowing
out in the bay we were well protected
it's very nice to drop the anchor it's
relaxing winds drop now so yeah probably
went okay 50 nautical miles today and we
sailed about 40 of them so we were
pretty happy with that
and I was good sailing so fast and we're
able to enjoy the afternoon so one more
day of sailing tomorrow and then we'll
be in split looks like we're off yes we
are that one knife here um but we must
remember off to split today because it's
the last day of wings like there's lots
of calm days predicted soon so we will
make the most of the wind today it's not
that far to go and yeah 20 nautical
miles of that
only outside I really wasn't sure I was
getting
[Music]
yo
[Music]
[Applause]
I found a split and that is the location
where we are picking up your bro
[Music]
it was telling me
[Music]
[Music]
[Music]
there are very few Anchorage's in split
I wake her jock Luka Pollard was great
nice holding and sand and about a
10-minute walk to the old town
well we've had a cracking day sale we've
we actually sailed all day we didn't
motor once so except out of the
Anchorage and yeah we're in split so
we've arrived the sun's going down and
we've got your Roper League
qualification happening of off split I
wouldn't have minded under that game but
uh it's about start perfect sunset so
we're really lucky and we're such a good
style a great great wins so yeah happy
day

nights it's 8 p.m. and the sun's just
coming down and well that's just such a
good atmosphere it's singing happening
