Along the Adriatic Coast

                                                     The complete tan, near Rovinj

To end the summer, we spent most of September in Europe with our main destination being Croatia. The Adriatic, Istrian Peninsula, Dalmatian coast must represent one of the most ideal yachting areas on earth.  Of course we couldn't bring our boat, but we did enjoy a day cruise in the Porec-Rovinj area of Istria, a stay on the island of Hvar, and ferry boat rides across the Bay of Kotor.  The weather was perfect, the waves were moderate, and the breeze was consistent for the sailors.  Anchored off the city of Split was the beautiful and unique yacht "A", 394 feet long with the outline of a modernistic submarine.  It is reportedly owned by a Russian billionaire who is now building a larger yacht.  For me, ogling the beautiful yachts, in the harbors along the coast, was a significant attraction.  Hvar and Dubrovnik are especially beautiful.  Put the area on your vacation wish list.
