2nd Step – Korcula / Croatia

Unfortunately, we could only leave Split at noon, and in the morning we had to replace a broken V-belt. The part had been replaced during engine maintenance, but it still didn’t last long. So we went to the shop and bought a few more V-belts at the same time. You never know what will happen and whether you can get parts. After leaving port, calm seas, hardly any wind. That would be pleasant for the rest of the journey.

No matter what our opinion of Croatia is, the landscape is simply beautiful, with great bays and towns that we pass.
After reaching the marina in Korcula, we refuel. We still have to get used to the fuel consumption and the bill, but it was clear that many litres of diesel would be consumed over the four thousand kilometres. Korcula itself is great, an ancient town, winding alleys and cosy restaurants. Tomorrow morning, before we set sail, we’ll go to the administration to clear in Croatia, which hasn’t been possible so far. So passport control and quasi paying a water use fee. Croatia = 165 euros, valid for one year, there are no shorter periods. Take a look at our Instagram, you’ll find some beautiful photos of Korcula here.
