Fast Ocean Sailing with RM 1200 Schnufao Corfu (Greece) to Kravica (Croatia) From Domingo Zaengerle.
On the flights back from Corfu to Switzerland I always have seen from the air the beautiful islands from Croatia, for this reason I decided to visit in 2011 this nice area of islands. Over the winter Schnufao received a Code Zero (big light Genua 88m2, attached on the bow sprit similar to the Gennaker) and a bigger Gennaker 155m2.
The voyage had the following steps
- Gouvia (Corfu) to Vlora (Albania)
- Vlora , Marina Urikom to Durres (Albania)
- Durres to Bar (Montenegro)
- Bar to Kotor (Montenegro)
- Kotor to Cavtat (Croatia)
- Cavtat to Mljet (Croatia)
- Polace , Mljet to Krav
In 9 days we sailed through 4 countries
Greece, Corfu I described in the report from 2010, lovely country shapes, mild clima, a lot of small bays for anchoring, but desafortunately every where litter and dirty streets, the Greeks should stop to claim over EU and to strike and should start to work to put her extraordinary country in order.
Albania was against all the perspectives uncomplicated, but still very poor, every where are old bunkers and ruines from new buildings, the country side is very nice, very pure and rough. The friendly Albanies have a lot to do to put up her country.
Montenegros sea side is less rough and greener in comparison with Albania. Small nice houses and buildings and only a few ruines of buildings ruins the the coast. The bay of Kotor is fantastic, like a fjord, high mountains, a lot of impressive cultur. The streets are clean and the people friendy.
Croatia, what a surprise, clean like Switzerland, white lovely villages change with intact ruines in a green land shape. The Croates always are working and in the meantime are friendly. Much advertising for the tourists to the walking and biking treks. In opposite to the Spain’s the Croats kept her country in the old nice shape.
Due to the spring trip we sailed still with the winter southerly wind conditions (Grecale), so we sailed ca. 50 % had 25 % motor sailing and only 25 % with the engine.
