Portable Yachting...

I'm sure by now you've noticed that all the crew members have numbers associated to them. Their English was good but we couldn't understand them at all when they told us their names...I still don't know #3's name. So, being the nice Americans that we were, just decided to number them so we at least knew who we were talking about. Terrible...but useful. :)

After a couple of hours of driving through the islands on Sunday morning, #2 stopped the boat and #1 tied us to the shore in a beautiful little bay just off of the island of Hvar.



The island was made up of only a single bar named Carpe Diem... What a brilliant idea to put your loud dance club on an island off of your main land!



Our neighbors...



It was our first real day of the vacation so we were still learning the schedule and the crew was learning what was important to us...floating in our "portable yachts" (ie the $5 blow up rafts that we bought) and sampling the finest Croatian beer and wine.



By the end of the trip we all had it down to a science. Eat breakfast, nap, cruise for a couple of hours, nap, serve breakfast again for those that just woke up, park & "portable yacht" in a bay, (#2 would even tie a rope to the side so that we wouldn't drift too far away from the Gardelin because God forbid we use our arms to swim back) nap, eat lunch, nap, drive the boat to a city and park, nap, walk around and have dinner on land, enjoy some cocktails, then back to the boat for more festivities and maybe just a bit of sleep. You'd think that doing that same thing for 7 days would get old....nope....it didn't!
