Wednesday June 20 on Vis.

Written by Jack van Ommen on June 20th, 2012

I left the island of Mljet yesterday morning. The leads for trying to meet up with relatives of one Gig Harbor fasmily from the island were just too vague. I decided to move on to the island of Vis. This was too far to sail during daylight. I anchored last night  in a bay near Brna on the island of Korcula. I had some decent sailing. And a good nigth sleep at anchor. I am not sure if I wrote this on the previous blog but i ended up paying $ 50 for my dinner on Monday night in Polace. That was supposed to be the free moorage, for a dinner. The Croations have this great skill in advertising their menus and when you get the bill, there is a charge for the tableware, tips mot included and the 24% or so sales tax. Well I had been forewarned. ..Last night I paid 112 ( about $ 20) Kuna for anchoring.  Here in Vis at the quay it is 320 Kuna, about $45, for my boat. I could have saved some money by putting the anchor down and blowing up the dinghy but I wanted to show my transom with the Gig harbor hailing port to the locals, hoping to catch some one whose family had moved to Gig Harbor.

After checking in here with the old men of the town it looks like the Bellingham fishermen did not come from this main town but from Komice, on the other side of the island, so that is tomorrow’s destination. I had some excellent sailing again today and then a little of the entire gamut the wind dealt me.

Most of the visiting boats are charter boats. I think that out of the about hundred boat I and five more are privately owned.
