Heading North

After spending the last couple of weeks sailing the archipelago islands right off the coast to Zadar, we head further north to the Kvarner Region of Croatia. This is a big bell shaped area that is scattered with more small islands at the very north part of Croatia. It is here at the northern most area that Croatia kisses Italy and Slovenia. For the most part, these islands are long and skinny with ragged edges. Those ragged edges make for excellent places to spend the night. There are so many places to choose from. Like a kid in the candy shop, we choose the ones that look the most tempting. There aren’t many bad choices in this area of Croatia. We dropped off our last guests back at Zadar where their trip began and choose our first anchorage just north of Zadar because of its wind-protecting peninsula. As we are looking for a good spot to drop the anchor, Steve sees naked guys on the beach in front of us. We decide that this is in fact, the perfect way to drop the anchor. As it turns out, we accidentally stumbled onto a classic gay nude beach in the late afternoon when the guys that have been lying in the sun are ready for some sunset fun. Fortunately that fun ended up including the two Americans on the catamaran just off shore.
