Onward to Korcula

A couple of days ago, Maggie and I went for our first swim of the season.  The water was 61 degrees Fahrenheit, but it did not seem that bad.  This was while we were still in Polace, Mljet.  We had spent a week there while repairing the dinghy, but we finally got off the boat and went for a  nice hike to see a bit more of the beautiful national park that we were anchored in.  A refreshing swim was just the thing to do afterwards.

The next day we said goodbye to the park and sailed - yup, sailed - to Uvala Luka, a small cove just around the point from the old town of Korcula.  That was yesterday.  Late in the afternoon, we made the short walk over to the old town and had a look.  It is beautiful; today we are going back for a longer excursion.

I also have to now figure out why our watermaker has decided to stop working after taking the whole winter off.  I guess that's life on the waves - it has its ups and downs.
