Solinska bay Visited in the Summer 2021 Nice free anchorage open to SE and S. Sand and grass. For safe anchoring, look for sand patches as it will hold better and cause less devastation. Clear water, nice snorkelling.  Pebble beach in the corner and couple of houses on the W side. Mainly quiet except a few day visitors with small crafts. No buoys  Good internet wesailcroatia.com info@wesailcroatia.com We are skipper and hostess (available for hire), promoting sailing style of holidaying in Croatia. If you are a sea gipsy, a real sailor (I mean, sailing, not motoring your way), and like to stay away from main charter routs and marinas … this might be the right place for you. We sail 8 m boat on a tight budget, so we are going to explore and look for all nice places where we can anchor without paying overpriced buoy fields and marinas. Explore local villages, restaurants, look for water and food supply, compare prices and share any information we find useful.

Just when we thought it couldn’t get worse… The other water tank on our sailboat has now burst, flooding the boat and costing us even more precious drinking water. And the tank we spent days fixing? Still leaking. All the water we just carried barefoot from a creek—70L by kayak—is vanishing fast. Life off-grid at sea isn’t always paradise.

#katknots 🥨 Rolling Hitch. We haven't done any knots for a while, and we think this one is an essential one to have in your locker. This knot hitches a new line to an existing line (or chain). ▫️ You can use it to take the load off a jammed winch (normally the jib or Code 0 sheet). Or it comes in handy for making an adjustable bridle, if the swell and wind are coming from different directions. ▫️ Tie the first half hitch in the direction of the load (eg towards the sail or anchor). Then go round the standing end, come over again and tuck through the gap. The trick is to keep wrapping in the same direction, towards the load. ▫️ You should be able to see a dog leg or link in the original line and be able to slide the knot forward towards the load. It shouldn't budge pulling in the opposite direction. ▫️ You can tie this with one less wrap or "roll", it will depend on what size your lines are and what type of material the rope is made out of. Test and practice it before you need it. ▫️ What is your favourite knot? ▫️ ▫️ #knots #learnknots #ropes #learntheropes #sailingtips #learntosail #sailing #knot #hitch #rollinghitch #sailinginstagram #sailinglife #rope #lovesailing #katamarans
