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 …
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 …
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 …
We’ve got a little weather coming in today. Some wind has kicked up and the limestone mountains that rise about the bay make for an excellent Bernoullis tube. The wind seems to make a swift transition down into the narrow lane and rushes with some pretty good force until it surfs over the ridge and …
This post is for our AWESOME daughter-in-law Rachel who loves cats. This little museum was tucked away in a little corner of Kotor Montenegro. We heard about it and went searching for it just to go and celebrate what Rachel loves. These quirky off-the-beaten-path experiences really make us smile. If it’s not on …
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 …
