We got our coffee, tea and breakfast that morning after a good night's sleep. As you might guess, there was more singing by some Swedes in the slip next to us the night before, but they retired early as well.
We pulled out of the slip and headed out of Milna to get out on the Adriatic Sea. It was a little cloudy and the breeze was good. We
were looking forward to a good sail today, but we wanted to get out of the inlet first. We were going to attempt to rendezvous with Royalty at another island if we could. As we were exiting the inlet, which was a rather large bay, we were hit with a progressively intensifying squall.
We turned away from it and headed back deeper into the inlet. We spotted what we thought was an opening and a creek or something on the island of Brac. The wind was intense, but Captain Lynch and I managed to get Mediterraneo into the creek. There were several other boats in the same location seeking shelter. We explored a little and found a good place to drop anchor. It was a very good spot.
We were probably there about an hour. During that time, we ate and enjoyed some fellowship. Of course, an anchor watch was in order, but it was well grounded in about 30 feet of water. We were holding tight! While waiting for the storm to abate, we discussed where we were going to be for the night. We decided two things--we would go to Kremik, near the town of Primosten and that we would probably have to motor or motorsail quite a bit.
We finally left and started out again. The wind had fallen off to almost nothing and the sun was beginning to be visible. We took off motoring and motoring fast. Our chartplotter expert figured out a course to get us to Kremik the most direct route and we set the autopilot and dashed on. The trip north to Kremik was uneventful. We passed several other boats heading north. We even had to navigate through a race that was happening on our way. Everyone stood a watch during this trip to Kremik.
Somehow we motored past the entrance to access the marina and went into Primosten. We called the marina and were told that we had to travel back south for about two miles and then turn to port to enter the bay into the marina area. We were told there was a sign pointing us to Marina Kremik. Well, the sign was so far back in the entry bay that you needed binoculars to see it from the sea. We got in and found our slip after a little bit of effort and docked the boat. It had been quite an interesting day. We settled in, cooked some dinner and sort of relaxed. Some of the crew went to the bathhouse and showered and the rest just chilled. It was a good day!
