Weather: sunny with occasional clouds – around 17/18 degrees Accommodation cost (only) €27 We set off to explore the island. The island known for its coloured wooden houses, birdwatching, its rocky village building and, of course, duty-free. We wait a while until high tide makes disembarking a little easier and then walk through the lower village. We score the long-cherished wind and waterproof blue jacket for Robin at the boat and clothing shop and a 20-metre thin line for our little Keesje. We buy some mouth caps anyway from a not too friendly shop lady as it is highly encouraged (freiwillige mundkapfverpflichtung…which means: voluntary mouthpiece obligation) and eventually find a ‘basic ball’ to use for our ‘Keesje’. (found out what it is yet?) We have lunch at a ’typical German’ restaurant (Wiener Schnitzels mit kartoffeln und salat) and then leisurely stroll back to the port. On the way, we end up in wonderfully enthusiastic German folklore music, which we listen to for a while over a proper cup of coffee. After all, we have no shore power (so we save on everything), so a real latte machiatto on land was magic to our mouths. Patty is still living on aspirins, but taking a walk and eating well helps. We chill out further on board, Robin ties ’the Keesje’, we watch Max’s qualifier, eat a burger, prepare for tomorrow’s trip (6.00 departure for the Elbe and then basically Brunsbuttel unless…..) and go to bed at 10.00pm. #birds #islandlife #harbour

⛵️ ⛵️ ⛵️ ⛵️BUYING A YACHT IN CROATIA VALUE OF VIDEO REVIEWS You're in the US and you don't know if it's the right thing to buy a yacht from so far away in Croatia. In this video Aquila describes how valuable it was to have Nick on the ground to visit the yachts and provide detailed video reviews. =========================== HUGE SHOUT OUT to Aquila and Dawn. Amazing couple to partner with in finding them their dream come true yacht in Croatia. Check their Facebook Page out and follow their adventures here: https://www.facebook.com/SailingDektos Listen to more of their story here ➡︎ ➡︎. https://youtu.be/-K4Ehi6SSEw =========================== Transcript: Once we had narrowed down 15-20 listings we picked 3. Nick organised everything with the brokers and the charter companies and the people on the ground to go see the boats. In one trip he stopped at three different marinas and basically in a weekend he had shown me, took video tours of the boats. Very thorough went through every compartment with me taking videos. Showed everything. I felt like I knew the boat before I even showed up after we made the decision. The drone shots of the rigging were fantastic. We nixed one boat right off the top. Just wasn't interested in it. Too much, too much going on with it. And then it was a real close tie between the two remaining boats. When we finally picked our boat and we submitted the offer we went back through and watched that video at least 20 times at least 20 times! =========================== ⛵️ ⛵️ Looking to buy a yacht in Croatia?
