What a difference! After a bumpy night’s sleep we woke up to a flat sea and an early departure. We knew we were having a long sail to the Paklinski islands and everyone just chilled - we’re all used to being at sea now 😊 Stopped in the most amazing bay for a long lunch, swim and paddle board - perfect. The most turquoise sea of the trip 💚 💙 We then heard the music from the rafted up ‘Yacht weeks’ boats as they declared ‘Let’s get the party started’ - this was the signal for our 7 and 9 year olds to start dancing on deck 😂 Chris & Becca then took them over to observe their future 😜 After that it was time to leave and we headed to Bobovisca on Brac - a perfect little inlet where we got the last spot and enjoyed an evening people watching and listening to the restaurants singer (no sleep before midnight) A perfect day 🤩

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 🌅
