When we finally run out of Croatian coastline, we cross the invisible doted border into Slovenia. The towns along the sea are similar to the ones we just left. Mostly Venetian in their historical structure with a few modern hotels at their edge. We start at one end of the country and by noon we have eaten up over half of the Solvenia coast. At lunchtime we throw the anchor across the bow and hang out at the base of towering cliffs eating a pasta salad and dipping in and out of natures swimming pool at the stern of the boat. We could have easily made Italy with just a few more hours under sail. Venice is just across the bay and we are tempted to head over there the next day. But the thought of going through customs getting stamped stapled and verified for a few days on the canals turns our boat back to Croatia. We will be flying home through Venice anyway, so we will keep Venice for another day. By the time the sun is ready to turn the lights off on the day we are tucked safely in a deep bay that separates Croatia from Slovenia. I think our anchor is in one country and our boat is in the other.
