Back on the Road Again
We’re back on the road after our visit to the Ostrog Monastery and headed farther north in Montenegro to check out Black Lake. Along the way we enjoyed some awesome views and a lot of tunnels.
Montenegro
Ostrog Monastery
We took a little road trip into the heart of Montenegro to visit Ostrog Monastery. I’m not sure how it was possible to build this monastery on the face of a steep cliff—in the 17th century no less—but both hiking up to it and ducking inside the two tiny chapels inside caves—will equally take …
Forever Ukraine
We rented a slip just around the corner from Porto Montenegro and rented a car for a week long road trip. As we were easing in to our spot and tossing lines when I noticed our new neighbors were flying a Ukrainian flag on their boat. I’m always happy to see this, as it reminds …
It’s in the Bag
Kris is gone but the bag she “muled” over for us with stuff from home finally found its way to us. It also had her clothes in it, so perhaps she’ll have to come back out and get them.
She’s Gonna Need a Vacation
Time to say goodbye to Bedouin’s trusty crew mate Kris. During her stay this poor girl took an early morning shift on watch during a passage, spent half a day picking up trash from the ocean, helped the captain troubleshoot a generator error code, spent two days scrapping off the exterior tint on her …
Easy on the Seaweed
Apparently sea-weed is not a healthy diet for our generator. It suddenly started overheating—which seemed pretty strange, especially since our generator has super low hours and always runs like a champ. So the Bedouin crew spent part of the day trouble-shooting the problem. Eventually Mark discovered it had sucked some seaweed into the intake. Once …
Messy Girl Gets a Bib
After our tour of the submarine caves and visiting Her Lady of the Rock, we told our guide we wanted some really good seafood. He parked the boat and walked us into the old town, past the walls and the old entry gates, and lead us to this little restaurant. We walked quite a ways …
Our Lady of the Rocks
After our tour of the former Yugoslav submarine caves our boat driver took us over to a little island with a great big history. The island is man-made, the continuous commemoration of two fisherman who, back in July 22, 1452, discovered an icon of the Madonna and child on a rock or floating in …
Need to Hide Your Submarine?
Ever wondered where you would hide your submarine if you bought one? Well, the Yugoslav Army has just the place. Currently there are three sneaky sub caves available so you’ll want to reserve your spot right away. You just can’t find a good hiding place for subs these days. So this is quite …
Here Comes the Rain
10 Rainy Day Rules: #1 Pull the plug on the dingy or it will fill up like a bathtub. #2 If you disregard rule #1 you will have to don your brother-in-law Tony’s “Gorton’s Frozen Fish Stick’s Hat” and pull said plug to drain your newly acquired aft bathtub. #3 Whist following rule …
