With Dubrovnick done, it was time to head to Korkula to see Rade and Marinka and their new addition (baby, not house). We had a great time with Rade 3 years ago and unfortunately this time he was up to his ears with work, house and new baby so he couldn’t come sailing with us this time.
We stopped off in Mljet National Park on the way to Korkula, a nice anchorage off a small village.
Next morning, we set off early to Zavalatica, Rade’s Village on Korcula, as we needed to get there by lunchtime.
Talk about good timing, it was a National Holiday in Croatia and Rade had the day off. Perfect planning – of course.
Once again the wind was on our nose so we motored over in light winds. We pulled up at the dock in…. and went for a quick swim off the back of the boat in beautiful clear water.
Lunch was brilliant. Marinko (Marinka’s Dad) had been slow cooking the meat all morning and it was particularly delicious. Especially when washed down with Rade’s Posip wine, 12 litres of which found its way onto La Mischief , along with some Olive Oil. Thanks Rade.
After lunch, Marinko drove us to Korkula Town, where we had a walk around the city walls, stopping for a drink overlooking the Adriatic Sea.
We finished off a brilliant day with a few (more) drinks on La Mischief.
Next day, we were off to Hvar.
