A Day In Trogir

Its tiring business..full time tourism. September 6th saw us awake to huge gusts of 40kt plus so we decided that it might be better to wait til the weather was a little more settled ans we caught the local bus to Trogir a UNESCO world heritage site. It is a small town on an island in the gap between the mainland and Ciovlo Island (Otok in Croatian). We has been caffeine deprived so we sat in the square in front of a beautiful and in use cathedral bit of which were built in the 12th century. The narrow streets were paved with stones smoothed by the feet of lots of people over lots of centuries. There was a town hall with ionian columns and a squareand we had lunch at cafe Mirzec ...nothing exotic ..just pizza. We then caught the bus half way back and waled the rest of the way along the coast with its castles. Mel , as usual, found wild produce and ate heeaps of figs that had strayed over the fence form someones back yard. Dinner was a pasta on board. After that there wasn't much action. We were all a bit stuffed and retired ready for the sailing. Finally a picture of Jelena a 40 ft Elan with 3 cabins and a generous saloon berth. Sehs an old girl by Croatian charter standards ,launched in 2002 but comfortable. She is the racing version , witht the traveller in the cockpit and a dangerous loop of main sheet ready to garotte the unsuspecting if a crash gybe occurs. Lucky were professionals???
