GAME OF ISLANDS
It’s easy to run out of superlatives when you’re talking about sailing in Croatia: the 1,800 miles of coastline, arguably the most beautiful in the Mediterranean, stretching most of the length of the Adriatic; the hundreds of inlets and bays in the scores of islands that make it even more of a sailor’s playground; the thousands of hours of sunshine that bless said coast and islands; the predictable summer winds that bring sailors back year after year. You can see why I was looking forward to revisiting Croatia, where I’d last sailed back in 1999.
Back then, we enjoyed two weeks’ sailing in the Kornati islands in the north of the country, near the border with Slovenia. If you’re wondering how you could spend two weeks sailing in one comparatively small area without getting bored, well, put it on your bucket list—it is a hauntingly beautiful region that still ranks high among my favorite cruising grounds. This time around, the destination was TV series, and its surrounding islands.
