Salt & Stones
Our oldest daughter and her husband gave us four reasons why we needed to make a stop and stay in Ston on our way home.  ONE, because they’ve been producing salt for over 2,000 years  …so we went there and bought some.  TWO, because they produce the finest oysters  …so we …
Zagreb-ing our Attention
We stayed the night in a lovely Airbnb in Zagreb—Croatia’s capitol city. It was a really relaxing place to stop, unwind from a days drive and stroll around the city that evening.   The next morning Mark snuck out and went for an early jog around the neighborhood while I slept in, and came home …
A Little too Much Lightning
It’s 3am and the little town of Slano is glowing from the aftermath of a ferocious lightning storm.  We’ve been anchored in the bay here for the last five days, soaking up this super relaxed town and some of the warmest water. We planned a quick stopover but enjoyed it so much we just …

This was carted along with another hard-shell case that contained an actual kitchen sink. Both of these treasures we …
Swimwear Conundrum
A little swimwear conundrum has caused a bit of a crisis onboard Bedouin. I recently noticed that while I’m constantly jumping in the water to cool off all day long, Mark doesn’t seem to use our “backyard pool” as often as I do. When I asked him why, he said he hates his …
Stari Grad
Just around the corner from our stunning anchorage was Stari Grad so we let down the dingy and went into to explore the town for the afternoon.
Spectacular Stern Tie
You know that feeling of excitement that unexpectedly overtakes you when you drive to Costco and suddenly in the middle of a very crowded parking lot the very front spot opens up just for you??  Finding this gem was more magical than that.  Our first stern tie is successfully and spectacularly in the …
Dijamant!
📩 Dear Croatia,  Would you kindly ask your mayonnaise manufacturers to bottle their product in another color. Yellow has already been taken by the mustard people.  Dijamant! It is very confusing.  Much appreciated, Bedouin Head Chef
