We just spent our first night at anchor, and it was glorious. We are in front of the ACI marina, on the Ombla river, where we kept the boat over the winter.

When we arrived in Zagreb, we were greeted by my family who spent a few hours with us before we boarded the bus (no panic this time) back to Dubrovnik. The next week was spent getting the boat ship shape for the commencement of this year's cruising season along the Dalmatian coast.

The plan this year is to head northward along the coast, making short day trips and anchoring among the 1200 islands. We plan to do a lot of sight-seeing and hiking, and we will enjoy the leisurely pace that we will set. This will be the first year when we are not undertaking an epic journey, like traveling down the eastern North American coast, crossing the Atlantic, or crossing the Mediterranean Sea.
By late summer, we hope to be anchored in Venice and spend a few weeks there before we head back south to our wintering grounds - perhaps in Sicily. Depending on the what happens with Croatia's entry into the European Union in July, we might sail through Croatia again. Otherwise, we would travel along the Italian Adriatic coast..
But I am getting ahead of myself for we can never tell what the future brings. We aren't even sure when we will weigh anchor and move on.
