On our way!

After what seemed like forever, we are finally on our way and after fixing a few Teething problems with the Boat, we are now enjoying her.
The Watermaker is making 50 litres an hour and has a great taste to it. The Solar panels are doing their job as well, and even on a cloudy overcast day have sailed the boat on Auto Helm all day, and along with the Fridge and Nav Gear on they kept plenty of charge in the House Batteries.

We have been visiting the outer Islands from Split with some great Anchorages as well as spending some time in Milna and tying up to the Dock at Hvar which was an experience in itself backing the Boat into a small gap with no bow thruster and amazing how they packed all the boats in there. Spent the night having a few "quiet" drinks on the boat with some Germans that were parked next door to us which didn't finish till 4 in the morning. Had to get out of there as it was not healthy on the Liver :) Not a cheap exercise though staying on the dock there and paying the Port Authority  620 kuna (NZ $135) for the berthage, but hey when in Rome...

From there we stayed in a bay at Orebic Peninsula  for the night and are at present in Korcula which is famous for where Marco Polo came from and is beautiful. The history of these places never ceases to blow me away
