Sailing here and there ..

The local maritime report and radio issued a storm warning for Dubrovnik area.
Windy app says the field of low pressure stays where it is and a maximum of 15knots of wind is to expect. We finally decided to depart from Okuklje and see what is going on in the open sea. Therefore we headed towards the south coast of Mljet. Carefully we listen channel 16. Repeatedly a storm warning is issued for the area. Around midday we experienced a sudden increase in wind force up to 20 knots and decided to reef sails and head back to Okuklje.
Another Halo predicting the bad weather to come After half an hour wind decreased to 8 knots and we finally decided to risk to go to Kobas, a little and quite sheltered bay on peninsula of Peljesac. We had some wonderful legs upwind until we reached Kobas in the evening. We chose
Konoba Luka's peer to berth - a good choice.
