      Possible they do not realize they have. I have discovered I have liked and disliked without even realizing. On a phone as you scroll or click sometimes you click without intention. Also the phone can by accident click on things in a bag pushing against things if for instance you think you have shut down but have not and the phone pushes against things clicking away.

      Croatia is amazing, but you must have deep pockets and not get wound up by the policy it seems everyone has there now of trying to extract the most amount of money from you as humanly possible! Shame because it wasn’t like that 10 years ago. You may be able to put up with this if on holiday for a week or two but I can tell you it becomes extremely tiresome over time. See the later episodes

    The price of those fishing licenses in Croatia doe, 60 kuna per day ... and to use big game rods and reels, similar to what you have, is additional cool 120 kuna per day. But you even can't buy the permit for using stouter equipment as a foreigner, you would need to hold an annual fishing permit for that. And that is available to Croatian citizens only. For boat fishing without special permits only less that 30 lb test gear is legal, (with a 60 kuna/day sports fishing permit).

    Even in 80's sailing the Med and Adria we always saw plastic bags. Then came algea and very stingy tiny jelly fish. The water was still quite clear. Florida...even in early 90' s still lots of clear now an algea, milky saturated green water soup everywhere. It' s humanity doing it to itself.

    It's good to see you sailing and cruising properly again after the long year of lock-down. Good fortune to get a second dose of the vaccine, knock on wood!
    The electric motor and dingy seemed to do very well. No muss, no fuss. It must be great to see your daughter again and in such a relaxed, beautiful setting. Watch out for that sunburn!
    I've trolled for tuna for years, it's best to set it and forget it. Don't over think the fishing but if you must, ask a local in any of the ports what they do, what they catch and what they use for bait. Jigging off the bottom may be better than trolling off the stern. Maybe you can dive for shellfish or squid and make a great seafood stew.
    A friend did a bike tour of Croatia, Montenegro, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Albania with a group, much of it along the coast, and then split off to cycle Triglav National Park. From there to Vienna, along the Danube River and into Germany. All in late summer and early autumn. The pictures and narrative she shared were awesome! Along the coast of the Adriatic, Dubrovnik, Croatia; Bay of Kotor, Montenegro; Perast on the Bay of Kotor; Trebinje, Bosnia and Herzegovina; Slano in southern Croatia; and the walled town of Ston, Croatia, with the famous oyster beds in the bay, were all very impressive!!
    Thanks for taking us along. I've been following for a while and have enjoyed your adventures and tech tips. Enjoy the summer weather and night sky and good health to you.
    === Sun, Moon, Stars, and Planets ===
    We passed the June Solstice on the 20th, so the days are as long as they will be in the northern hemisphere, and the Sun is as far north as it will get. Only slowly at first, but with increasing pace, the days will get shorter and the Sun will move southward along the horizon (both setting and rising.)

    This Week's Sky at a Glance, June 18 - 26
    skyandtelescope.org/wp-content/uploads/sco-sgr-Fujii-with-lines-labels.jpg
    Scorpius as it appears these evenings. It is rising in the east during the evening, followed by Sagittarius. These two will become the constellations of summer as they will be up all night long. Note how Sagittarius looks like a tea-pot. It rises with the spout facing upwards and over the course of the night, it rotates so it appears to be pouring the stars of the Milky Way out. The tip of the spout is right at the center of the Milky Way Galaxy where the giant Black Hole Sagittarius-A is located. When you are looking at Sagittarius, you are looking toward the center of the galaxy.
    TUESDAY, JUNE 22
    The nearly-full Moon shines over Antares this evening. By 11 or midnight they're due south on the meridian, as shown below, meaning that Scorpius is as high as it gets. In addition to Antares, how much else of the constellation can you make out through the moonlight?
    skyandtelescope.org/wp-content/uploads/WEBvic21_June22evLABEL-FIXED.jpg
    The full Moon of June is called the Honey Moon because it rides low across the sky through the night, where summer humidity-haze often colors it yellow. In the image ink above, the Moon is getting very close to being full on the 24th. (The 10° scale is roughly the size of your fist at arm's length, a handy angular measure.)
    WEDNESDAY, JUNE 23
    Mars is passing through the heart of the Beehive Star Cluster, M44, this evening for North America. Get your binoculars or low-power, wide-field telescope on Mars, very low in the west-northwest, right at the end of dusk. (Faint Mars is about a fist at arm's length upper left of bright Venus.) At the time of dusk at other longitudes around the world, Mars will be more toward one edge of the cluster.
    skyandtelescope.org/wp-content/uploads/WEBvic21_June23ev.jpg
    Almost there. . . . Venus lines up with Castor and Pollux in one more day, on Thursday the 24th, just like Mars did on June 7th. Venus is getting higher each day and will meet up with Mars in one less than a month (July 12th) with another crescent Moon to fill out the view. Mars is much fainter than last summer's apparition so you may need binoculars to see it. It is much further away, almost beyond the Sun. That will happen in early October as the planet passes behind the Sun.

    Šibenik, Croatia - Sunrise, Sunset, and Daylength, June 2021
    THURSDAY, JUNE 24
    Full Moon (exact at 2:40 p.m. EDT = 8:40 PM Thursday, in Šibenik, Croatia). The Moon rises in twilight about a half hour after sunset. After dark, you'll see that it's in the edge of the Sagittarius Teapot - if you can see the Teapot's 2nd and 3rd-magnitude stars through the moonlight! Binoculars help. Remember, the Teapot (12° wide) way overspills a binocular's field of view (typically 6° or 8° or so).
    FRIDAY, JUNE 25
    Leo the Lion is mostly a constellation of late winter and spring. But he's not gone yet. As twilight ends look due west, somewhat low, for Regulus, his brightest and now lowest star: the forefoot of the Lion stick figure. The Sickle of Leo extends upper right from Regulus.
    earthsky.org/upl/2018/06/2018-june-17-18-19-moon-and-leo.jpg
    This image is for June 2018 so the Moon phase and Venus position are wrong but the constellation orientation is correct.
    bobmoler.files.wordpress.com/2011/04/leo_04-28-11_22-00h.png?w=595
    The rest of the Lion's constellation figure runs upper left from there for a couple of fist-widths, to his tail star Denebola, the highest. He'll soon be treading offstage into the sunset.
    -------
    Venus (magnitude -3.8, in Gemini) shines low in the west-northwest during twilight. It hardly moves now with respect to your landscape from week to week, but its background stars are certainly moving right along. Watch Castor and Pollux, to Venus's right, position themselves to line up with the dazzling planet on June 24th.
    Mars (magnitude +1.8, in Cancer) glows very modestly in late twilight low in the west-northwest, upper left of Venus. Mars is about as faint and small as it can ever get, glimmering with only 1/175 of Venus's light. The two planets narrow from 14° apart on June 18th to 10° on the 25th. They'll reach conjunction, ½° apart, on July 12th and 13th.
    On the 23rd Mars is smack in front of the delicate Beehive Star Cluster of Cancer the Crab, M44.
    Jupiter and Saturn (in Aquarius and Capricornus, respectively) rise in the middle of the night, Jupiter about an hour after Saturn. They shine at their highest and telescopic best in early dawn, a time when the atmospheric seeing often steadies. Jupiter dominates at magnitude -2.5. Saturn, 20° to Jupiter's right, is a more modest +0.5. They'll reach opposition in August. (Closest and brightest as well as being up all night long.) Remember they passed each other (conjunction) last December. It will be close to twenty years before they are in conjunction again.

    Just for your information, those submarine tunnels are not from WW1. They are post WW2 creation of the Yugoslavian army. Many of them exist all along the coast. Usually they are in the most beautiful and protected bays. Some of them are used as small fishing dinghies mooring places. Sometimes almost a small apartment can be found in them for fisherman to sleep over. Nice to see you are visiting Hvar. I will be there in two weeks.

    Schengen travel - Just seen an article in PBO where the EU has confirmed to the Cruising Association that days spent in an EU country with a visa do not count towards the 90/180 Schengen calculation. Currently, the only countries with cruising grounds, who offer 180-day visas to UK citizens, are France and Sweden, but it's a start!!

I'm definitely going to be replacing my 4hp outboard (when it's dead) for electric. Have you considered fitting a Bimini on the dinghy with flexible solar panels on the top ? It'd keep the sun off your heads and charge the battery at the same time.

      Yes we heard from another cruiser that was in the area, a massive fire. I don't think people though about the fact the mooring ropes would burn through and the boat would then drift off and set light to other boats, not just the adjacent ones! People missed their chance to escape by simply sailing out of the harbour.
