2019-09-17 Stracinska Bay, Solta Island to ACI Marina Trogir, Croatia
We take a morning swim around Stracinska Bay before preparing for our departure
Farewell to our close neighboursOver the years very little has changed in this beautiful bayThe water is still as clear as it always was in the past!!Late morning we slowly make our way out of the bayStracinska Bay is quite a deep bay open to the south. It is close to 1 km from the outer entrance to Uvala Sajtija, the eastern of the two forks of the bayWonderful reflections today!For a change we decide to motor along the southern coast of Solta on our way to TrogirThere are many small anchorages along the 18 km southern coast of Solta IslandApproaching Maslinica, the only town on the narrow west coast of Solta IslandNumerous small islets protect the entrance to MaslinicaMaslinica has a delightful port which has a generous marina built a decade agoWith a fairly small population of only a few hundred people the town is well known for tourism and wine production over the past centuriesOnce on the northern coast of Solta Island we head north towards Ciovo Island which is close to our destination of TrogirOtok Ciovo consists of several beautiful townshipsHere there are many lovely homes and holiday houses overlooking the water Heading east along the northern coast of Otok Ciovo we make our way to Trogir which is where our visitors from Tasmania will be meeting us this eveningIn the distance is the ancient town of TrogirAnchoring out in the bay is popular with the larger boats visiting TrogirApproaching the historic city of Trogir which now is a UNESCO World Heritage SiteWe have been to Trogir on many occasions and each time we visit by boat it is as spectacular as the last visit!!Mid afternoon we arrive at the ACI Marina TrogirWe pre booked a marina berth to ensure easy access to our boat for our visitorsEmpty marina berths which will be almost full by eveningAfter several hours of cleaning up the boat, washing and shopping for provisions, we were ready for our guests to arriveShortly after 7 pm as planned, our Tasmanian visitors John and Mary arriveWe agreed to have dinner aboard this evening as we knew our guests would be weary from travelling.
