Day 56 to 64 sailing in Croatia

Sailing in Croatia was definitely an adventure especially since most of the crew where Polish which meant that both me and Dilman picked up a bit of a new vocabulary in Polish… quite fun!

The adventures ranged from going out in the evenings meeting cool people to sailing in hard weather and having fishing lines caught in the boat. (Luckily for us we had a full insurance on the boat with no cost… because when we got back to land they had to lift up the boat since we had gotten salt-water into the gear-box… it did happen quite often though the guys in the marina assured me…)

Dilman also made a Google map over our trip if anyone wants to see : http://tinyurl.com/lrs9uk

Electric wiring in Croatia… most of the streets where so small that you couldn’t have fitted a car into them even without the stairs…

Me in the water… I have just saved my hat from drowning…

Coming up to a port

 

I love the colors on the water 🙂

 

Perhaps not shaved… but happy…

 

Sunset sky

 

The whole group… the guy bending down next to me is Chris… he was arranging the whole thing

 

Two guys and their cannon…

 

Dilman liking the view

 

Me being a bit sweaty… it WAS a very big climb…

Some people had really cool boats… like the wooden one behind me here…

Me and two of the girls again

 

We are all having our heads down (the observant can see that this is my new profile picture on many places :-P)

 

Don’t mess with me… or I’ll hit you with my anchor… aaaargh!

Me and Dilman climbing around on a playground in the middle of the night

 

The boat is leaning quite a lot…

 

Some streets where smaller than others 🙂

 

Us posing again, this time at night

 

We experiment with the self timer in the harbor… or boat is the one behind us with the light.

 

Me sailing when it is leaning a bit… yeeehaa 🙂

That guy looks quite happy…

 

Yet another harbor at night… and yes… they where more beautiful in reality…

Our boat in the air

And this was the reason… loads of fishing line caught inside the propeller and gearbox…

 

Leaving the boat area with my new backpack

In the old palace area in Split… the moon looked quite cool

 

Dilman on a square in Split… with cool background

 

We found a band playing by the water… I am in the front dancing with a girl

  

The same girl the day after… turned out she was selling her own stuff on the square

 

Me and Dilman caught on a fishing hook

 

Split… quite a beautiful place

 

Going to a MC-club festival in the night… it was hard rock all the way 🙂

 

They even had pole dancers performing

 

The lights in the background is on the other side of the ocean… yea the festival was on the beach.

 

The street sellers that I became friends with in Split

  

One of the attractions they had was a carousel for the kids… driven by manual labor.
