After Cameron and Travis headed back to Houston, Virginia Hare, a friend of Haley’s from Wake Forest, joined us for few days sailing on the boat. She arrived just as the Bora started blowing. The Bora is a katabatic wind that blows hard from the northeast at times in the northern Adriatic. It blew up to 30 knots for a couple of days, which restricted our movement a bit, but we had a great few days sailing.
After Virginia left, we took a trip by bus over to see Mostar in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The city has the famous Stari Most Bridge and other examples of Islamic architecture from the Ottoman empire. The city also still shows evidence of the Bosnian war. Today the population is made up of about half Croats and half Muslims. After the war, the Serbians left the city.
The Winters joined us for our last week in Croatia. We had a great time checking out Korcula and some of the other Croatian islands. Tedd is going to come back to the boat in November to help us cross the Atlantic. After spending a month sailing the southern islands of Croatia, we checked out of Croatia in Cavtat and sailed 200 miles south across the Adriatic to Corfu, the northern most Greek island in the Ionian Sea. Greece was our 5th country to visit on our quick summer tour of the Mediterranean. We only were able to spend a few days there before we started around the boot of Italy back towards France but we had time for some great Greek food.
