Sipan Is to Korcula - July 9

We started our day with a little exploratory tour of Sipan. 



We climbed the hill to have a look at the church and an overview of the harbour. 




Winds were light again and we ended up having to motor the 36 miles to the walled ancient city of Korcula, home of Marco Polo. Along the way we passed many small wooden cruise boats that are a popular way to tour the coastal islands. 


We also passed one of the largest mega yachts I have ever seen. Note how it dwarfs the town in the background. 


We anchored in a bay that was a 15 minute walk from the heart of the old town. 


Again, many narrow alleys, fortifications and a 13th century Cathedral and Marco Polo's tower.









We walked the town and ended up at a waterfront Konoba for cold beers.


We ended up at another waterfront restaurant for pizza and pasta supper and returned to Faros for the night.

  1. Jim,
    Don H said thanks for the kind words you provided for his retirement event today.

    Good to see you are periodically appearing in the odd photo. Based on your complexion, it looks like you have been taking your role as captain seriously and spending more time at the wheel than anyone else.

    Cheers to the crew.
