More to the point, it was way more food than we could eat, so much so that we ended up giving about a third of it away to a local family. First of all, their US-centric menus often have little or no basis in cruiser reality (somebody thinks I’m going to fire the oven for an hour in high summer, on a boat with no AC? Get a grip). Now, about provisioning…įor our last charter in Belize, we used the full-provisioning plan (3 meals a day for 7 days, times 4 people, equals 84 servings), which was less than ideal. Most charterers arrive at the airport a few km away from the base, but Moorings arranged a shuttle to pick us up from the ferry terminal. An overnight ferry from Italy got us to Split early on the morning our charter was to start. The Moorings base is in the village of Marina, 30 km west of the old Dalmatian city of Split. None of us have ever visited a country living so close to the aftermath of war it will be interesting to see how the people and the places have recovered twenty years on. In the last decade of the 20th century the Yugoslav wars, including the Croatian War of Independence, shattered this coast into half a dozen independent states. We were already going to be in Italy with our old sailing buddies Craig & France, so scheduling a charter in Croatia was an intriguing add-on. It’s been four years since our last charter: Rory and I were overdue for another. Med moored with the fleet in Komiža, island of Vis.
