I am sailing out of Primosten (Sept 25th 2009) and have decided to sail north to the Kornati Islands.<br /><br />I had a hard time deciding between the Kornati Islands and Vis. The Kornati Islands have superior beauty (and are very unique) but lack a lot of on-shore activities and resources. Vis and the surrounding island have more interesting on-shore towns to explore but lack that Kornati Island beauty.<br /><br />We will be leaving for our trip in a week. If you would like me to email you my thoughts upon my return, let me know.<br /><br />StephenUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08074789917962656614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4992393953774090321.post-72857729503370234562009-09-16T16:11:31.450+01:002009-09-16T16:11:31.450+01:00Hi Ira

You don't say where you are picking up your boat from but as you have only 5 days maybe sail "via" the Kornati islands towards Hvar or Brac, and then maybe Vis. Best thing is to discuss with your skipper what's possible and what your preferences are. You will enjoy it most if you are not racing around trying to get to as many places as possible but just go with the flow. It's all lovely so you'll be spoilt for choice.<br /><br />Have fun<br /><br />JaneJane Codyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12595930278687959709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4992393953774090321.post-90076672344167958882009-09-15T08:43:32.891+01:002009-09-15T08:43:32.891+01:00Hi Steve

The risk is minimal on the islands though wandering off the beaten track inland, in the Zadar and Sibenik regions, on the mainland, is still not recommended. The final remaining mines are being cleared and here's a link to a website which gives a report on the situation.<br />http://www.croatialogue.com/are-land-mines-still-dangerous.html<br /><br />Have a great and safe trip!Jane Codyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12595930278687959709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4992393953774090321.post-85520748011243275062009-09-14T15:44:30.505+01:002009-09-14T15:44:30.505+01:00Hi,

Are there any land mine risks in the islands between Primosten and Zadar? It seems like I read about a risk somewhere in my Croatia Cruising Companion (fantastic guide by the way) but I can't remember where I read it.<br /><br />Thanks<br />StephenUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08074789917962656614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4992393953774090321.post-38836501191167829342009-08-31T02:27:08.810+01:002009-08-31T02:27:08.810+01:00Hi Jane:

Why? This is my first time sailing. <br /><br />Thank you so much for your ideas,<br />Irairahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15802083669471207698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4992393953774090321.post-72125338929263889592009-06-15T11:41:59.968+01:002009-06-15T11:41:59.968+01:00Hi Yossi

They were in stock when we checked a couple of weeks ago. If that doesn't work, ask Marina Kastela reception to find co-author John, when you get there. He has an office on the marina and a small stock of the Croatia Cruising Companion.<br /><br />Have a lovely trip.Jane Codyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12595930278687959709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4992393953774090321.post-58613735568848983982009-06-15T10:06:09.255+01:002009-06-15T10:06:09.255+01:00Hi Jane,

I would like to alert you and your readers that several boats on moorings were blown onto the shore. We have pictures to illustrate this. Everyone should be very careful picking up these moorings.<BR/><BR/>Best wishes, SueSuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08761849579555484571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4992393953774090321.post-68479617370779210152008-05-22T15:42:00.000+01:002008-05-22T15:42:00.000+01:00Thanks for the comment Marlene.

The charter market, although increasingly competitive is still very seasonal, and with margins tight, many charter operators rely on the short summer holiday period to stay afloat. So it's natural that, if they can, they will go for a week's charter, rather than losing a boat for a week but earning for just a few days. Some charter companies will do less than a week but they may not want to commit until the last minute. The best bet is to establish contact with some of the smaller ones and see how far ahead they will be prepared to book you in. If they don't have a week's charter booked in advance then they may be pleased to get the additional income. Try www.adriasailcharter.com for example, based in Split, who are a reputable company and as flexible as any other we know.Jane Codyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12595930278687959709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4992393953774090321.post-74126851392932857602008-05-21T16:26:00.000+01:002008-05-21T16:26:00.000+01:00hi. we will be in croatia at the end of june for 3...hi. we will be in croatia at the end of june for 3 weeks and are having trouble finding a sailboat rental just for a few days. most places i have seen on the internet require a week long check-out and are very pricey. do you know of any local places that rent to ASA certified sailors. we are looking to rent one out of split, hvar or vis. there will be 4 adults and a possibly a small child. thanks for any suggestions! - marleneAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4992393953774090321.post-73387970323179397672008-01-03T23:14:00.000+00:002008-01-03T23:14:00.000+00:00I bought myself 'Croatian Cruising Companion' for ...I bought myself 'Croatian Cruising Companion' for Christmas and have very much enjoyed reading and browsing though it.
