After skipping through a number of amazing anchorages, we find our course set for the town of Hvar on the island of the same name. This is a city that has an energy about it. You can feel it in the air. It has been called the Mykonos of Croatia. Indeed there are a lot of nightclubs, café’s where people hang out watching the parade of people walking along licking gelatos of their cones and then their fingers. It certainly is a crowded port. Without the benefit of a proper marina, the town quay is jammed packed. But the bay the town encloses has moorings that you can tie your boat up for a slight fee. There is no real anchorage here because there is just too little space for boats to swing as the wind shifts. So we spend a day and night exploring the town and restocking our supplies. But the allure of a quiet anchorage is just too strong. So by the next day we head to an island right off the coast of Hvar.
