Bossy Bosun
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.

Stari Bar
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 …
To Crew or Not to Crew
Come to Greece they said. It’ll be fun they said. Not sure poor Kris knew that her trip out to see us included deck scrubbing and being assigned to the 2am-4pm night watch on our passage to Montenegro. But we have a shiny boat and two hours more sleep than we usually …

Corfu
Today we head to the airport, a quick five minute cab ride, to pick up our friend Kris. We did a little more exploring while we waited since the town seemed fairly empty today. The streets were quiet, the air pungent with spring blooms, and the sound of birds echoed through the streets. It …
