26. Sailing to Budva and Sveti Stefan in Montenegro | Boat Problems | Checking into Croatia | Sail
This week we continue to enjoy summer in Europe and check out more of Montenegro including Budva, Sveti Nicola, Sveti Stefan and Morinj before we start our journey to Croatia.
Budva is the party hub of Montenegro and on arrival we decide to anchor off Sveti Nicola instead of Budva, as it was extremely busy with little room to anchor. Sveti Nicola is an Island just off Budva and is mostly undeveloped except for a few beach bars. It is covered in trees and the water is perfectly clear. Sveti Stefan is only 1.7nm away so we also spend a day checking out this unique place.
Unfortunately while in Sveti Nicola we have issues with our generator, so we need to head back to Morinj, near Tivat, to meet a technician to remove the impeller as we can't remove it ourselves despite a good effort trying.
The day our generator is fixed is Jase's birthday, so once it is sorted we tender across to a relaxed beach bar in Morinj for a couple of beers to celebrate.
It is then time to prepare our departure from Montenegro to Croatia and during this we find a great place to fill our gas bottles! We then sail up the coast of Croatia to Cavtat where we sign in to Croatia and continue on and bunker down for a night storm in Slano and 30-40 knot winds throughout the night. Unfortunately the harbour master is not available during sign in at Cavtat so we have to venture in to Dubrovnik the following day to complete the process.
About us:
Our names are Jason and Tracey and we traded our house, cars, business, job and security for freedom, adventure, travel and living simply amongst nature and the seas on our 45 foot Hanse 445 sailing boat, Kawai.
We don't know exactly where the winds will take us at this stage but over the next year we hope to sail to Turkey, Greece, Montenegro, Croatia.
Jase loves making travel videos and we decided to upload to youtube to share our adventure. We really hope you enjoy and feel free to drop us a comment any time to chat or subscribe to follow along :)
