Happy New Year!


A belated and very happy New Year to all our readers and especially those who have bought a copy of our Croatia Cruising Companion.

There are quite a few of you now, if the Amazon best seller lists are anything to go by. Today on Amazon.co.uk it's number 2 for books on Croatia, and 8 in the sailing section (worldwide) which is a great way to start the New Year. On the US site, www.Amazon.com, it's currently 10th in the books section on Bosnia, Croatia and Hercegovina. That means that both sites can still offer substantial discounts (30% and 34% respectively) off the £25 and $33 list price.

So if you're holding off booking that perfect sailing holiday until you see what else is in store for 2009, at least you can plan, read and dream about it at an affordable price!

Today's photo is the copyright of Ivo Pervan, one of Croatia's most talented and celebrated photographers. Not only were we privileged to feature one of his photos on the front cover of the Croatia Cruising Companion, but we've subsequently had the chance to work with him on a couple of other projects and that's a similar privilege. For more details got to www.ivopervan.hr.

We'll be on another round of collecting news and updates in the next few weeks as we travel around Croatia after a longish Christmas break. For non nautical news and information on Croatia, don't forget to visit our sister site Croatia Online.
