We went to shore today to soak up the medieval town nestled at the end of the Bay of Kotor. The old town is flanked with fortification walls that long ago kept out invaders but now clamors with the influx of vacationers. High above the steep limestone cliffs a crumbling fortress has settled into the …
There were two celebratory holidays that occurred today. One we celebrated and the other we did not. Celebrated? WORLD OCEANS DAY And in honor of World Oceans Day we took the dingy out and collected trash around the bay of Kotor where we are anchored. And headed to a small shoreline and …
After our quick stop in Porto Montenegro, we continued north towards the Bay of Kotor. Along the way we stopped near the Blue Caves just south of the bay. There’s no place to anchor or moor so Mark and I took turns captaining the boat, keeping it safely adrift while a collection of crew went …
Chloe misses a few things stateside. Mostly tacos, definitely Chick-fil-A, and sometimes her brother. But here in Porto Montenegro she found Big Bite…so close to being her beloved Chick-fil-A, this girl is happy. We”re heading up toward Kotor next so we hit up Big Bite one last time before we left. Poor Kris …
Chloe found this monstrosity to add to our crew. She says its a good moral booster for the deckhands and calls it “Princess Diva”. We’re anchored off Sveti Stepfan for the night and Princess Diva is already hard at work, although the thing takes up a lot of deck space when it’s aboard. Sveti …
We’re headed north towards Kotor Bay. Chloe’s happy to have some extra crew aboard to spread the deck work out to and from the looks of things, it appears like she’s got a good work schedule set up.
Based on the awesome recommendations that our new friend Ovi gave us, we hired a driver and set out to see Stari Bar. “Stari” is Slavic for “old one” and is a common name used to refer to the original town. We’re currently moored in Bar, the newer town named for the older one that’s …
What’s the most Greek thing you can take your new crew to experience? Visit the fortress? Wander the nearby ruins? Well, it’s probably not going to the movie theater to see “Tom Κρουζ” in his new movie. But it was very Greek to have a delightful intermission right smack in the middle of the …
We made it north to Corfu where we are meeting an old high school friend Kris who is flying in to crew. She’s also our first official pack mule, bringing TWO extra bags full of stuff we need from the states. We arrived in the afternoon and took the dingy to shore to do …
Our resident Bosun, youngest daughter, and sometimes doodle-r Chloe, who often calls herself “Debbie Deckhand” made this sketch of Bedouin the other day. Our Debbie Deckhand Doodles Delightfully don’t you think?
