We leave Montenegro long before we are ready. But Croatia awaits us with new adventures. We enter the country at Cavtat, a postcard town strung out along the port. This is the most popular and convenient port to check in and out of Croatia. As a result we had to wait for about an hour for our turn to pull up to the Q (quarantine) dock. We shuffle through the process going from one end of town to the other paying fees, collecting the right official stamps and a few welcoming smiles along the way.
After being scanned, stamped and filed, we sail on to the old walled city of Dubrovnik. It is a beautiful stony city right on the coast with a deep port on the opposite side of the peninsula. The marina there is first class with an infinity swimming pool, wifi, marble shower blocks a couple of restaurants and nicely landscaped green spaces. We welcome Bill aboard who sailed with us last summer for the next 9 days. A couple of days later we pick up John. Further along the way, we also pick up Stephen and Paul from South Africa, two great guys that add a lot of fun and sparkle to the trip. They share with us the wonders of South Africa, its beautiful cities, wild life and the sweet spirit of the South African nation. I have now added a trip to South Africa to my bucket list. Thanks guys, you were a delight to sail with.
