The big journey day! I booked ahead for the night at Bobovice, a hidden gem up narrow inlet on the way back to Split and importantly near Milna’s cheap petrol pump!

As usual the morning started with light winds, so we motored out of Vis as soon as Becca and I woke up. 

Dolphins swam nearby as we headed to our halfway point - the Paklinski islands.

We conveniently arrived around 10am, the new perfect time to arrive at a mooring buoy as lazier people are setting off for the day. 

Becca helmed us onto the shallowest buoy she could find 😉. Great going for her first time, especially considering she had no bow thrusters..! I was out on the bow and really enjoyed picking the buoy up and tying the lines. Note to self - alternate more often.

This was voted the favourite bay by everyone. Perfect turquoise water with hardly any boats around. Everyone swam, paddled and explored.

I swam under to check the bow thruster to see why they wouldn’t turn on. Unfortunately last night’s mooring caused something to jam the flap open and rip the port propellor clean off…! Not looking forward to our last two evening stops in a tight harbour followed by a marina.

Begrudgingly we left the bay, although not before taking Little Toots to join in the Yacht Week’s last day raft party!

We had a decent beam reach all the way to the gate, but the wind died down and we first motor sailed before motoring the last stretch to Bobovice.

Jay caught a Catamaran on his fishing rod, only bite of the week!

We stopped at the mouth of the Bobovice channel to prepare Asti for docking and sent the grandparents and kids off on Little Toots. This was the best prepared crew I’ve ever had for a mooring!

We took it very slow and with the help of our new neighbour and an exceptionally well oiled crew, moored perfectly on our second attempt. (First time I went reversed in, but with the wind. Second time we came in against it)

Great spot on the wall outside the restaurant where we grabbed takeaway food after swimming in the nearby beach.

After food Becca and I went for a walk and saw the most stunning sky as the sunset out of the channel 🌅
