Rebekah and I finally got the nerve to rent a boat on our own. No Captain. Just us. In preparation, we took a refresher course in Ireland, which went well (except a small run in with a rock...) So we headed back to Croatia.
The kids decided to sleep outside, and built a tent. It did not last, but was a good idea. It was hot inside the boat!
We did a bit of sight seeing, exploring old towns and castles.
But this trip was about the sailing. Not so many pictures.
We even made our way up a river to visit a famous national park.
While exploring the park, Weston's sandel broke. Luckily there was a working blacksmith on site (it was a historic tourist attraction). Despite being told it could not be done - we found a way. I wonder how many blacksmiths have worked on rubber sandels?
However, this park is famous for more then an old fake blacksmith. People come here to see the huge waterfall.
Weston took some time to read a newspaper out in the water.
Our biggest fear was docking the boat. We tired to find places with no one around. Better safe then sorry.
This meant the selection of restaurants wasn't great. But we always found something to eat. This place had some great fresh fish!
Rebekah was a natural, especially at parking - which she didn't do until the last day!
She even filled up the boat by herself (another first). We barely used any fuel in 7 days! It really is the little things.
