Visiting the Šolta, we stayed at the sheltered ‘Mojito Bay’. The name attracted us, that's why ;). The next day we noticed tourist boats in this bay stopped at a specific spot and people started looking at the water, sometimes swimming, but most of the time leaving again. It turned out that there was a shipwreck called ‘Kontesa’ which sank here and could easily be seen just below the crystal clear water! The ship was built in 1943 and served as a cargo vessel during World War II. After the war, it was sold and converted into a passenger ship, carrying tourists along the Croatian coast. Its sinking in the 1980s was due to a storm, and fortunately, all passengers and crew members were rescued safely. Today, the Shipwreck of Kontesa serves as a reminder of the island’s rich maritime history and provides a unique opportunity for visitors to explore and learn about underwater ecosystems. Over the years, the sunken ship has become a habitat for a wide range of marine life, including colorful fish, octopuses, crabs, and sea anemones. So I got my snorkeling gear and getting closer to the area you could see the top of the ship, it was only 1 or 2 meter under the waterline! Gilles filmed me with our waterproof Go Pro camera, while I was swimming towards the shipwreck.

I’m almost 70, living on my sailboat, and usually shirtless, shoeless, and hatless—loving every minute of it! Honestly, I wish I’d started this life a whole lot sooner. Stay tuned for upcoming videos on my brand-new skincare regime—sun protection is a must when you live this close to the elements! #NeverTooLate #SailingLife #LiveOnABoat #AdventureLifestyle #SunProtection #SkinCareRoutine #AgingGracefully #ActiveAt70 #OceanLiving #BucketListLife #sailing #skincare #outdoorlife
