Heading upwind to Dubrovnik
by Selim E. on Fri, 4th, May 2018
I woke up early and it seemed as if I was the first to be awake in the whole beach. I did a walk around the beach and took some garbage bags with me. I collected a lot of plastic garbage, which locals did not care for, and deposited them in the garbage bins.
Cleaning the beach After it had rained for almost the whole night, it looked like as if we could expect a dry day. As we are supposed to bring back the boat in late afternoon we departed quite early. Wind from Southeast. We had to sail upwind for the next hours. As waves were quite strong -- a result of nightly storm in the open sea -- we chose to take the route north of Elafiti archipelago. The advantage was that we had almost no waves and the same wind force (between 6-15knots) as on the route across the open sea.
