Nick and Lindy joined us at Trogir for the next leg to Dubrovnic. This was a get up and go trip every day but we did find some lovely bays to swim in and we visited Korcula town though, like Hvar, was completely swamped with tourists.. Lynn and Simon came aboard in Dubrovnik for a few days sailing around the southern islands, particularly Mljet . We had variable winds over these two weeks but still some very enjoyable sailing and we visited some beautiful islands and anchorages. The historical highlight for me in this area was not the walls of Dubrovnic (now apparently most famous as a location for GofT) but the walls around Ston. The narrow shallow channel up to Ston was also a memorable experience! Everyone was very quiet as Helen read out the depth while we sought the deep (well 3m anyway) water channel between the mud banks of the river. We draw 2 metres so not a lot of room for manoeuvre.
