The Sydney Herald reports today on an organised cruise around Dalmatia on a 28 metre wooden ketch. We've borrowed their photo to illustrate todays posting; the full link is http://www.smh.com.au/news/world/on-a-ketch-with-caruso/2007/12/07/1196812977122.htmlIt's a great account of some of the more appealing peculiarities of Dalmatia and we learnt something new - that Kurba Vela, one of the Kornati islands, actually means "big whore" and was named in the 19th century by an Austrian Governor who named it on the advice of a brazen local who assured him it was the Croatian name for the island.
Read the full story by following the link above - it will give you a real flavour for the cruising ground. For more detailed information on the various ports in the area make sure you take your copy of the Croatia Cruising Companion with you. See our Home Page for more information on that.
