Sunday 15 October 2023

Lot of of km under our wheels, lots of miles under our keel since September... 15 October 2023.

 We left you in Alexandria, Egypt, a month ago, as I was working there for WHO to setup a health emergency information centre. Still ongoing... <on the way back to Pul, through Vienna, we encountered a few wine yards ready for late harvesting. But could not taste!


On the highway to Croatia, we got surprised by a Gaudi inspired bathroom gaz station toilets. Not so common and quite remarkable!

Further south, we encountered a sun with two sundogs on the highway, reminding us of our northern sailings in the Baltic sea...


Then we made it to Pula and enjoyed the end of the season every evening along the coastline at the sunset.



At the same time, like every years, we prepared additional fermented food consisting of lemon, tomatoes, beet root, cornichons, cabbage and coleslaw. Yummi winter!


On October 13, because of a forecast of dark bura obscuro, we all sailed back to shelters.





Funny animals in the water along the coast. They are many and as you swim, you can feel them in contact with your skin. They are many but not as disturbing as you would feel, In any case, anyone would feel better without them along side. 



This Saturday evening, strong Bura Obscura, the one coming with rain, is announced for the following Saturday/Monday afternoon. We noticed lots of fishing bats getting out on Saturday evening, probably anticipating on the forecasted Bura. Let´s see what will happen ... 



Finally, the new location of Belisama in Marina Polesana for the winter, We are very happy that the place is no longer directly exposed to the Bora and other Jugo strong winds, but better protected from them all. Nice landing and looking forward enjoying lot of good mooring time here!
