Heron update

Here are some news of Heron and us. 

First couple of photos are from winter, this is the surroundings of our home, in the evening just when the fog started to set.

We were feeding the birds again in winter, and here are my favourites, the cute Long-tailed tits (dolgorepke).

We spent some days on Heron already in March, we had lovely weather with almost summerly temperatures and beside boat projects we managed to make couple of walks in Mali Lošinj.

The flowers were already in bloom and there were many bees around.

We even made it to Veli Lošinj.

Next time we drove to Mali Lošinj was in beginning of April for couple of days. We managed to make a reservation in great little restaurant El Paso in the airport. We had a lovely meal, the best was their signature salad with different sorts of vegetables and fruit.

Lošinj was now in full bloom.

Marina Mali Lošinj was Herons home for last year. Lošinj is a beautiful island and marina staff is great, but marina is pretty unprotected from both Burja, NE wind as well as jugo, the SE wind, both produce waves even when light and staying on boat is pretty uncomfortable.

Tomaž braved jumping in the water, while our coppercoat boat anti-fouling works very well, it is not suitable for propeller. Hence the propeller gets overgrown with all kinds of creatures and needs to be cleaned regularly. 

For next year we got the berth in marina in Skradin near Šibenik. It is very protected and also very pretty, placed in beautiful surroundings. We were trying to get it for several years already and finally they had space for us. So after a couple of days, just before the weather turned, we said goodbye to all the nice people in marina and Tomaž sailed away, and I drove home. 

On the way I stopped near Vransko jezero (lake) on island Cres, mostly in hope of seeing some vultures that are living on Cres and are often seen around the lake. But all I saw were some goats and pretty views.

After couple of days sailing in bad weather and couple of days spent with friends Tomaz sailed Heron in marina in Skradin. I drove there on the same day. This is Heron in her berth. 

We have some great neighbours.

This is marina from the hill, in the back is the fjord to Šibenik and above it the highway bridge. Heron is moored more in the back of marina just couple of berths from the hill.

We climbed all the way up to the fortress on the hill...

...for even better view of Skradin.
