I've hit the ocean in the last two days and its been just beautiful. The Croatian coastline is very serene and some of the boats have been just incredible.
I got off to a shaky start almost missing the boat, but since then I've been on it almost first out of everyone! Funny that!?!?!
We have three couples (two from Albury and one from Sydney... They are all friends and booked together) and Jo from Brisbane who is 6mths in to her crazy around the world tri. Jo and I are sharing the smallest room ever, but its ok as we only have to sleep in there... Our bags have to stand upright in front of the door as you enter as its the only space we have... But we have a cupboard! (well a shelf each!)
The boat has three toilets, none of which you really want to use if you don't have to, and two showers. The outside shower off the back of the boat (it means showering in swimmers) and one inside (which I tend to use... But it puddles with everyone's shower water so you don't always feel clean eek!).
Oh well the joys of sailing... Its not always glamorous folks.
(neither is the 43yr old skipper constantly trying to hit on you.. But that's a much longer story 😌).
Anyhoo... 5 days to go and then its time to start the journey home.
In the meantime... We have been to some very cute little islands and the lovely passengers on the boat have been ocean swimming. I even had a bit of a dip today in the Mijet national park which was nice (yes Lara I went swimming :p)..
Enjoy the photos...
Until next time

Ps. This sailing thing has a funny little system... All the small islands let you charge your devices at their restaurants which is great. You also buy lots of coffee so you can use cafe toilets (it means not using the ones on the boat!) lol. Tonight our marina in Korcula has free marina showers and toilets... Hello hair washing! (its really about the little things!).

Sounds like you're a seasoned sailor. Our first 'ocean' voyage was on the Princess of Tasmania. Aware of stories of some rough Bass Strait crossings we stacked up on ginger tea, ginger tablets and wrist pressure thingies. After an hour and a half I wondered what all the fuss was about as it was as smooth as silk. I was then told we were still in Port Phillip Bay!
