Today's destination was the city of Trogir which dates back to a Greek settlement of 380 BC. We motored out of the bay at Stari Grad for a 12 mile run to Bol beach on Brac Is.
We went ashore to explore the beach but ended up cutting that short as it was a pebble beach and our feet couldn't stand it for walking very far. The water was very nice for swimming and even Sue made it in.
We lunched on the boat and then set sail for Trogir. The sail along the south shore of Brac island was beautiful. Vineyards dotted the island's south slopes.
This was one of our best sails on a beam reach in 15 kn winds.
As we passed Solta Is, the winds diminished and became on the nose so we had to revert to motoring. We ended up racing a thunderstorm to the Marina at Trogir.
Captain Steve on Rok, was a half hour behind us and ended up entertaining the marina by trying to med moor with the mainsail up (couldn't see it from under the Bimini).
Expert recovery and no damage done.
The group from both boats met in the old town at Restaurant Kamerlengo for a final meal together.
Chris and I made the mistake of ordering the Mediterranean grill which should have been named "mountain of meat".
It was good but way too much. Everyone had a great time.
After dinner we walked around town and found a few places with live music.
Beautiful waterfront with lots of mega yachts.
I can't get past the mountain of meat picture. Oh my!!!!! TOOOOO much food. Spectacular night shot.
