This morning, I woke up to Audrey whispering in my ear, asking for the wifi password. Last night, mum and dad slept on the deck together, for their monthly anniversary. By the time Audrey and I woke up, mum and dad left the boat, and had gone for a coffee walk at the bakery. Once Audrey and I were both wide awake, we texted mum and asked if we could join her. Polly was still asleep, but Audrey and I walked 5 minutes to the bakery where mum and dad were. We shared 2 traditional Croatian pastries: Savory (Burek), and sweet (a nutty-cinnamon scroll). We also got a whole loaf of fresh bread to have for lunch. After breakfast we walked around the corner to a huge fruit market, where we got heaps of fresh produce, including half a watermelon. We walked back at the boat, to find Polly, awake sitting on the couch. After a refreshing dip, we sailed 3 days to Otok Sestrunj, where there was this really cool tunnel/cave that reminded Polly and Dad of Indiana Jones. There, it was really deep, so we did a lot of jumping of the side of the boat, and Polly and I did heaps of flips. All of a sudden when we were about to go for another swim, it started bucketing down with rain, and there was heaps of lightning and thunder. As you can imagine, it was all a bit frantic for a few minutes until we packed all our stuff up, closed all the windows and came inside. During the storm, we ate lunch inside and waited for the storm to die down. After a few minutes it already wasn’t that strong, so we left Otok Sestrunj, and sailed 2 hours to Muline, where we tried to moore unsuccessfully. Sadly, there was no space for our bulk catamaran, so still in the storm, we sailed another 2 hours to Otok Molat, where we are currently moored. Thankfully, there were heaps of free spots, and by the time we parked, the rain and storm had stopped. The water here is so clear, and stunning! It was so tempting to go in the ocean, we had to go for a swim. We stayed in the water for about 2 hours. I was estatic, because I finally mastered my front and backflips. Damien taught us a way of sufficiently showering outdoors, called the skipper shower. First, you jump in the ocean and get all wet, then you cover yourself in soap. You then jump back into the ocean, to get majority of the soap off, and finally rinse all the salt off with fresh water. After some relaxation time, we rode the dingy into town, and walked around a bit, although there wasn’t much to see. Again, there were mainly pizzeria’s so we didn’t have much option. The pizza though was really good, surprisingly. It’s amazing, because most of them people here don’t speak English, and since Damien has most his meals with us, he’s like our personal Croatian translator. After getting the dingy back to the boat, we hear and see the people on the boat right next to us, all drunk having a huge party. It’s going to be very peaceful tonight ;)
