Known for its lush landscapes, pristine waters, and tranquil atmosphere, Mljet is a sailor’s paradise. Among its many hidden gems, Polače stands out as a must-visit location for those exploring the island by boat. Setting Sail to Mljet Mljet is one of the southernmost islands in Croatia, located just a short sail away from Dubrovnik. The journey itself is a visual feast, with the deep blue waters of the Adriatic Sea contrasting against the rugged coastline dotted with ancient forts and charming villages. As you approach Mljet, the island’s dense pine forests and dramatic cliffs come into view, promising adventure and relaxation in equal measure. Arriving in Polače: A Natural Harbor Polače, situated on the northern coast of Mljet, is one of the island’s oldest settlements and its largest natural harbor. The bay is exceptionally well-protected, making it a favored anchorage for sailors. As you glide into Polače, you’re greeted by the sight of the village’s picturesque waterfront, lined with traditional stone houses and lush greenery. The calm, crystal-clear waters invite you to drop anchor and take in the serene surroundings. Exploring Polače: History and Nature Polače is not just a beautiful anchorage; it’s also steeped in history.

Wandering through the remains of this once-grand structure, you can almost hear echoes of the past, adding a layer of historical intrigue to your visit. Beyond its historical significance, Polače is a gateway to the natural wonders of Mljet National Park, which covers the western third of the island. The park is famous for its two saltwater lakes, Veliko and Malo Jezero, connected to the sea by a narrow channel. A short hike or bike ride from Polače will take you to these serene bodies of water, where you can swim, kayak, or simply enjoy the breathtaking scenery. The park is also home to a wealth of flora and fauna, making it a haven for nature lovers.

Maserati Multi 70 è in trasferimento da Honolulu a Hong Kong. La situazione meteo non è delle migliori, a causa di tante zone di bassa pressione che annullano completamente l'aliseo e favoriscono la creazione di tifoni. L'Oceano Pacifico, inoltre, è costellato di detriti di plastica: continuiamo a veder sfrecciare oggetti galleggianti. Questa notte qualcosa ha colpito un timone, ma il nostro sistema di fusibili ha funzionato alla grande e siamo riusciti a rimetterlo in uso senza alcun danno. Ieri sera ci siamo imbattuti in un grosso telo di plastica, che fortunatamente siamo riusciti a tirare a bordo: è un pezzo di plastica in meno nell'oceano, ma sono davvero tanti. È veramente spaventoso lo stato in cui è ridotto il mare dopo appena qualche decennio dall'avvento della plastica. Abbiamo riscontrato dei problemi all'alternatore, per cui siamo costretti a risparmiare energia, poichè l'unica fonte energetica rimangono i pannelli solari, che in giornate di pioggia caricano poca energia. A bordo di Maserati Multi 70 va tutto bene, tranne la mancanza di energia nelle giornate di pioggia. Per fortuna non appena esce un po' di sole i nostri pannelli solari Solbian ci regalano tantissima energia: è come avere un piccolo generatore che non consuma neanche una goccia di gasolio, quasi una magia!
