We finally had the first zoom call. Not finally as ‘I couldn’t wait for it’, but finally as ‘It’s been a while since our last one last year’. One thing I should mention would be the fact that only Che brought a USL shirt… and I didn’t even have a collared shirt. Not to worry we […]
So, where did I leave off? Oh yeah! We woke up the next day and did some boat work. When we finished we were kicked out of the marina (because we didn’t wanna pay for another day). We then started sailing. We sailed for a good three to four hours, and finally made it to […]
We needed to cross the international border and come back to Croatia. So we got the boat ready and set off. First we set off in a South West direction, headed for the purple line only ever seen before on a chart. Then we went across the purple line, searching for any kind of […]
So, we left the Šibenik town quay after talking to the port authorities. They said we had to leave Croatia, and come back. The reason they told us this is because after eighteen months in the EU (we hadn’t been there for 18 months straight, our boat had) you have to start paying taxes. So, […]
In the last blog, I left off at going to sleep after Mom told us an Italian folktale. The next morning, we swam and had lots of fun. The reason we called this ‘Quinn’s Bay’ is because I found it on the app where we find anchorages and it didn’t have a name. Che and […]
After a year of being on land, away from the gentle breeze and crystal-clear waters, we started prepping for our very first sail. We left the marine and waved goodbye to Trogir. Trogir was quite different from all the other places we have been to. Usually the places that have been in war are incredibly […]
We got into Trogir, Croatia, at around 5:00pm. We rented a car and drove to our apartment. We couldn’t find it at first, and almost got stuck in between two walls. A nice local saw us and helped us back up the car until we were out of that alley. He then told us to […]
The plane ride was very long and tiring but we ended up in Croatia! Before the plane ride we all sat in the car with Mom on the phone, waiting to have our test results revealed. One by one our tests came out negative and Quinn, being the last one, was so worried when they […]
by Quinn Walling We hustled around the boat getting ready to see the Greek play, Le Troiane. We had been to the Greek theater before with the Ruggieri family, but not to see a play. Anyways, this time we were going there to see the play Le Troiane. We didn’t know if we could do […]
So let me just start by saying exploding volcanoes are awesome! So we were at Taormina and not to far from our boat was a volcano called Etna. And Dad was sitting in the cockpit and suddenly looked over and saw red clouds coming from Etna. He called us out and we started seeing a […]
