It was fascinating sailing with strong 30kn winds from behind. As a precautionary measure we put on our life jackets and secured ourselves to some strong fittings of our boat. We reduced the genua to 3rd reef and shortened it further when the ship electronics warned us that we surpassed windspeeds of more than 40kn. As we had to declare exit from Croatia anyway, we decided to sail into Umag. Luckily we passed the shallow entry into the harbor. Somewhat exhausted and tired we decided to spend the rest of the day and night in <a href="https://aci-marinas.com/marina/aci-umag/">ACI Marina Umag</a>. After a short celebration with some prosecco we got some sleep. In the evening Andrea and Robert found a nice restaurant in the city and brought some sweets, which we enjoyed late at night.<p></p><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvTg5Hb30NN_Ih_Qi4q2M-SB2sfN9BWPBxCwA4ePcz2-KOvqBrcV_Na-1N6vv9ATfAYzKaqqBUjFdzIQSdf9THqBZIHZiNpfba6Ce5LTASQe_N8q6bPMV-CyRH4Hvk4Twj7myrHhIJGpMcNCElSpePfYtiPdEfFYD-JdgV8jtElDmZSqzLaio5Xqkg/s3375/sail20220911_141037.jpg" style="clear: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2391" data-original-width="3375" height="227" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvTg5Hb30NN_Ih_Qi4q2M-SB2sfN9BWPBxCwA4ePcz2-KOvqBrcV_Na-1N6vv9ATfAYzKaqqBUjFdzIQSdf9THqBZIHZiNpfba6Ce5LTASQe_N8q6bPMV-CyRH4Hvk4Twj7myrHhIJGpMcNCElSpePfYtiPdEfFYD-JdgV8jtElDmZSqzLaio5Xqkg/s320/sail20220911_141037.jpg" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Andrea Sailing</td></tr></tbody></table><p>Next morning the wind slowed down but weather forecast warned us about some Bora starting in the afternoon.

At noon on Sunday 25th August 2019 with high tide I left <a href="http://www.marinastella.it/en/porto.php">Stella Marina</a> with my experienced women crew: Eva, Evi and Ilse for <a href="https://www.portoroz.si/en/discover/slovenian-istria/strunjan">Uvala Strunjan</a> in <a href="http://www.cruiserswiki.org/wiki/Slovenia">Slovenia</a>. After anchoring we took only a short swim because of many jellyfish and prepared a nice <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T-bone_steak#Bistecca_alla_fiorentina">Bistecca Fiorentina</a>.<br />
<br />
<br />
After motoring south next morning we declared entry to Croatia in <a href="http://www.cruiserswiki.org/wiki/Novigrad">Novigrad</a>, walked around the city and bought some provisions. We sailed further south east into <a href="http://www.cruiserswiki.org/wiki/Marina_Cervar-Porat">Cervar Porat</a>, where we anchored west of the small harbor and encountered a lot of jellyfish again. Our on-board dinner was nice Pasta Pomodoro and a good bottle of red wine.<br />

Before dawn Eva left us by catamaran from <a href="https://venezialines.com/rovinj/">VeneziaLines</a> to meet her husband in Venice.<br />
The rest of the crew and I sailed again with nice westerly winds to <a href="https://www.navily.com/de/mouillage/uvala-sveti-martin/19990">Uvala Sv. Martin</a>, where we anchored, took a swim with no jellyfish and cooked some mackerel with rice.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://www.windfinder.com/#10/45.3722/13.1633">Weather forecast</a> promised bad weather for the next days, so we decided to return back to Italy. After crossing northern Adriatic we reached <a href="http://www.marinastella.it/en/">Stella Marina</a> with high tide at noon of September 1st. When the rain started we had already finished our dinner in Marano Lagunare at <a href="https://www.trattoriabarcaneta.com/">Trattoria Barkaneta</a><br />

On Monday 29th we bought some bread, vegetables, ham and cheese at the advisable Pekarna and sailed northwest to <a href="http://www.cruiserswiki.org/wiki/Ist">Prolaz Zapuntel</a> between Ist and Molat, where we took a buoy in <a href="https://de.foursquare.com/v/uvala-mljake/4e87453902d5aab4cf73ebb4">Uvala Mljake</a>, enjoyed the clear turquoise waters and had Fusili con Funghi for dinner on board.

Early next morning we crossed <a href="http://www.cruiserswiki.org/wiki/Kvarner">Kvarner Gulf</a> with weak northerly winds, passed <a href="https://www.lighthouses-croatia.com/lighthouses/porer">Porer Lighthouse</a>, sailed through Fazana Kanal to <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uRh6iV4hjLg">Uvala Polaris</a>, where we spent the night at anchor. At noon we sailed to <a href="http://www.cruiserswiki.org/wiki/Rovinj">Rovinj</a> to bunker diesel and then motored through <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lim_(Croatia)">Limski Canal</a>. Finally we anchored in <a href="https://www.google.com/maps/place/Oto%C4%8Di%C4%87+Cavata/@45.1571678,13.6021976,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m5!3m4!1s0x477c95fa45c4d7a5:0xaa747d5a7a79485e!8m2!3d45.157095!4d13.6045994">Uvala Fabjan</a> north of <a href="http://www.cruiserswiki.org/wiki/Vrsar">Vrsar</a> and enjoyed Spaghetti Pomodoro and a quiet night on board.<br />

In the afternoon we anchored in <a href="http://www.cruiserswiki.org/wiki/Marina_Cervar-Porat">Luka Cervar Porat</a> east of the mussel farm in 7m depth with 40m chain (surrounded by depth of 12m). Because we had contradictory weather forecasts between some rain and heavy thunderstorms, winds from northeast or southwest, from cosy 20 knots up to heavy 50 knots we checked the anchor again and mounted our <a href="https://www.svb24.com/en/stainless-steel-chain-tail-hook.html">chain claw</a> to damp jerks and 6m more chain to work as a riding weight.<br />
In the evening strange black clouds appeared and the wind got very strong onshore from northwest. Suddenly the anchor alarm sounded. My wife yelled that we are getting to near to shore. In the last second we started the motor and went into the gale-force wind. I jumped to the anchor and found the rope of the chain claw broken. I was able to raise the anchor while my wife motored against the storm and then to a more sheltered place, where I dropped the anchor again. We spent the rest of the stormy night happy about our narrow escape. Next morning we got a lot of news about boats beeing lost in northern Croatia due to heavy thunderstorms.<br />

<br />
We discussed what we could have done better and found that:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>with bad and contradictory weather forecasts it is better to go to the next marina</li>
<li>as long as a chain claw holds it is very helpful in stormy weather, but when the rope breaks the resulting strong jerk may loosen the anchor</li>
<li>it is no good idea to anchor on an underwater hill, the danger of anchor dragging is high</li>
<li>when you are not comfortable in your actual anchor position, better change place before conditions get really uncontrollable.</li>
</ul>
<br />
<br />
Early in the morning with slight sea and no wind we motored to <a href="http://www.cruiserswiki.org/wiki/Novigrad">Novigrad</a>, where we declared exit and sailed with a nice norteasterly wind via Lignano to <a href="http://www.marinastella.it/en/index.php">Marina Stella</a>, where we moored with high tide early afternoon. We celebrated our lucky cruise with a exceptional dinner at <a href="http://www.daboschet.it/">Da Boschet</a>.<br />
<br />
We sailed 380sm in 74h during 14 days.<br />

We anchored in the nice bay and prepared some Pasta Nona with ham and ricotta. At 22:00 at night a heavy southwesterly gale hit us with hail and high waves, but our strong anchor held steady.

Friday after some nice sailing and swimming at <a href="https://mapcarta.com/18741688">Otocic Mala Kneza</a> we reached the zenith of our cruise, the harbor of <a href="http://www.cruiserswiki.org/wiki/Kor%C4%8Dula">Korcula</a>. We explored the medieval town, its churches and towers, and had a inspiring dinner at <a href="https://www.tripadvisor.at/Restaurant_Review-g1007309-d6755894-Reviews-Aterina-Korcula_Town_Korcula_Island_Dubrovnik_Neretva_County_Dalmatia.html">Aterina Restaurant</a>.

At sunrise we walked around the bay to St.Nicolas church, had another good swim and set sail east to <a href="http://www.cruiserswiki.org/wiki/Lopud">Lopud</a>, where we could not find a secure ground for our anchor. So we finally arrived at <a href="https://mapcarta.com/es/18748836">Uvala Donje Celo</a> west of Otok <a href="http://www.cruiserswiki.org/wiki/Kolocep">Kolocep</a>, anchored there and relished a hot vegetable risotto onboard. In the night we encountered some lightening and a short squall.<br />
