Swans and Sailboats Rarely Come Together

We have seen dolphins, flying fish, octopus, turtles, jelly fish and occasionally lost birds while on the boat. But anchoring out to two beautiful white swans is a first. Right up the coast there is a very narrow passage that snakes through a channel deep into the mainland. We stopped for a couple of days in Sibenik and then continued on deeper down the inlet. Eventually the sea meets a freshwater river that pushes the salt water back and forms a freshwater lake. It is there that we drop anchor within eyesight of the storybook town of Skradin. Two rolling hills guard each side of this hamlet of stone churches, an old marina that is still packed with boats, gelato stores and kiosks with home made jams and dried figs.
