14.06. Arrival in Zadar Transfer to the Marina Kornati harbour in Biograd na Moru. Departure from the harbour at 5 PM with the destination port of Murter. (Nice new facility). 15.06. 12:20 PM: The wind picks up. We leave the harbour in Murter heading south. We arrived in the bay of Otok Zirje and spent the night moored to a buoy. 16.06. The weather became overcast, so we headed to Tribunj. Very beautiful old town. Great rustic restaurant Konoba Pijero. In the afternoon, a strong thunderstorm. Very stormy in the evening, we lose our fender but find it again. Uwe loses both his glasses while rescuing a fish box from another boat. We retrieve them from the harbour in the evening with a boat hook. 17.06. We leave the harbour heading towards a thunderstorm. We change course and end up in Luka Port of Zaglav in a small harbour in the evening. 18.06. We start in Zaglav and head to a bay for snorkelling and fishing. Unfortunately, neither is particularly successful, but still enjoyable. After a quick lunch, we continue and eventually land in a small harbour in Mali Iz. 19.06. We head out to the open sea and arrive in the Kornati Nature Reserve (note: subject to fees), spending the evening in a bay near Ravni Zakan (restaurant only for millionaires). 20.06. We sail back towards Biograd. The boat inspection at 3 PM with LM-Yachting fortunately goes smoothly. And WITHOUT refuelling, as the fuel gauge still shows full :) 21.06. After a quick breakfast, we are drawn back to the water. This time not with the sailing boat Tina, but with a 200 HP motorboat. Short stop for lunch on the island of Vrgada. 4:30 PM refuelling and a shower before heading to the airport. In the evening, Midsummer barbecue at the Birds.
