Very pleasant town – old and new. We had NW wind so the anchorage was a bit bouncy but we put up with it because we knew the wind was decreasing. Good holding. Nice park on the shoreline from the anchorage. Mini market at the marina but a better stocked one in the town (same name). Fruit and veg market in the old town.

We checked out of Croatia from here. Had to take Sandpiper to the customs quay. The Police are in the pinkie/orangey building at the end of the quay on the right. ***They are there 24 hours a day and to check out we only needed a stamp from them. The Harbour Master’s office is around the corner and up the stairs. Their opening hours sign (which is upstairs so you can’t see it from outside the building) indicates that they only work office type hours but we didn’t try to go there outside these hours anyway.

***When we returned from Venice and checked back in here the Harbourmaster said that what the Police told us about only needing to see them on check out was wrong!

This is where we were charged the Sojourn Tax. See previous entry: ‘Extra Tax’.
