Lake Mir at night
by Selim E. on Tue, 28th, Aug 2018
Wind is still fresh. Around 12kn. Before breakfast I go snorkeling and I discover a lobster fishing cage on the seafloor at around 5m depth. The cage looks like it is abandoned. Several fishes are trapped inside. I decide to return with the girls to free the fish. After breakfast we return to the cage and try to encourage the fish (sea breams) to leave the cage by its small entry. All but one fish (the largest) manage to do so. The large one panics and is not able to find the exit but pushes hard against the lattice. My brother finally lifts the cage to the surface and tries to push him out. As the bream has already hurt himself I finally decide to grab him by his rear fin and pull him out. Happily? he disappears in the blue. Around midday we leave the bay towards Telasica bay on island Dugi Otok. Lovely sailing with wind force 3-4. I like the small passage between Kornat and Dugi Otok and the lake like feeling when entering Telasica bay. While tacking northwards towards Mir bay I am happy about the boats upwind performance.
Daughter at work We moor the boat at a buoy near Mir. After dinner we set out with the dinghy to explore lake Mir. As we arrive at the lake it has already got dark. However, we walk around the beautiful and quiet lake with our torches on. At the southern end of the lake a small path leads to the western shore of Dugi Otok. We discover a field of stone piles and add our own. On our way back moon rises in South East and lightens our way through the woods.
