Did you ever hear the story known as “Hair-gate”?? The one where a certain President shut down LAX while getting and $200 hair trim on board Air Force One… This is not that story. This is about a free haircut onboard Bedouin—where we were about to learn we had a fancy barbershop located …
A huge shoutout to our new friend Jack! He saw our American flag and paddled over to see if we were from the states. Jack is from New Hampshire and he’s here on vacation sailing with his family and also an Uncle from the UK. (Quite possibly a few other relatives are on board …
Beautiful Krka Falls–worth wedging Bedouin under a bridge and easing her into a marina slip so we could adventure for the day. It’s also the height of fire season around here, which sadly reminds us these days of Oregon summers. As we sailed back under the bridge we came to the narrow point in the …
When TLC warned us not to go chasing waterfalls, perhaps it was because you may have to pass under some very low looking bridges. Ones that never looked especially low from the vantage point of a car, but when sailing beneath them, as we do now, boy do they look loooooooow. We were headed …
After church today, our new friends the Flanders decided to sail “Lia” over to our anchorage today after church. On Sundays, they do a “Sunday Sail,” and try to invite new friends aboard and take them for a spin. This week they sailed to our anchorage and Matt and Gina invited us aboard for fun …
We headed back down from Jezero Mir on Saturday so we could attend the Split Branch one more time. Those people are just soul-filling and we had to return. The Flanders family were also there, bringing Flanders joy, and a hilarious video of their dad Matt crashing on his one-wheel on the way to …
After anchoring inside the cliff walls we took the dingy to shore and did some hiking around. There is indeed a lake there, and it’s really warm. A warm fresh water lake is a thing of beauty to a sailor who rarely gets an opportunity for a warm bath. Along our little adventuring hike we …
It was the guidebooks fault we decided to sail up to Jezero Mir. And honestly, we were expecting just a nice sail with something less inspiring than the guidebook photos when we showed up. I mean, look at that photo. Seriously, what?! But we got all the way up there and we were disappointed that …
After our walk through the ruins on the outskirts of Salona, we drove up to Klis Fortress. It’s perched up high so as to deter attacks. After driving up the steep road, Mark and I decided that was a well played decision. Without a rental car, we decided we wouldn’t have made an attack on …
After church today, on the advice of our new friend Matt from sv Lia, we roamed over to explore the remains of an ancient colosseum in Salona, just outside Split and then up to the Klis Fortress. In it’s 2nd century AD heyday, this amphitheater could hold 17,000 spectators who would come to watch …
