Split to Milna, Croatia

Manilo
Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 349
Got the boat in timely fashion and we were off. Started with more swell than expected and quite a bit of wind but to ease the family into it (since it was their first time) we cautiously went with 2 reef and a tiny jib. We stopped at Uvala Osibova. It gets a bad rep Because of the near by hotel but I think it’s a great bay to stop at. It has Cristal clear water, quiet and easy buoys to pick up. We also booked the buoy in advance (although not needed) so we rocked up to find our pre-booked buoy waiting for us 👏🥳



A great start! Check in quick and easy with Sail-Croatia. Really looking forward to this trip as it is my wife, her mum and sister. Me and Gaia have sailed before but a first for everyone else which I love because you get to see them experience everything about sailing for the first time 🥰. We headed out. A bit choppy and some good wind to start so we got some tacking practice in! 📝 Some joker had adjusted the Wind thing on the instruments to be -121 degrees. Made things a little confusing but 30 minutes going through all the settings fixed that 😂 Wind does off so motored to a bay on Brac which is a favourite of mine, the water is so clear and lovely to swim in. I think it will be a chilled week with shorter distances. The gang are keen on Hvar tomorrow so will be heading over after a morning swim and spending the day exploring :-).
