Discovering the Bora along the Croatian coast... 13-15 February 2021

In Croatia for two months by now, with renovation of the new house almost completed. Weather was cold in past weeks and we took advantage of a nice sunny forecast over Croatia to explore the coast between Rijeka and Zadar during last weekend. It was sunny, windy and cold when we left Pula. The picture below is the view towards south-east as we start the journey along the coast. 

Typical Bura configuration along the coast

The weather was fantastic when leaving Pula (by car, not by boat). Just a few questions regarding the heavy cloud load over the mountains on the horizon and the whitish haze over the sea in the distance. Any serious resident in Croatia would have warned us about Bora in this configuration. In fact, the cap on top of the mountains is the sign announcing the Bora, but not much time in advance. In the absence of warning, we discovered what it means by ourselves!
