Rainbow

Sun Odyssey 51. 51 feet (15,35 metres) long sailboat where  one week could be spent without any problems. We had all comfort inclusive non-working TV and non-working video. However, radar, GPS with c-map and radio were all right, so we felt very good except of first days of new sailors.

The other equipment which was more malfunctioned then working was CD player. That is the reason why we know several songs up to the last note.

The Sea Creatures

First he stepped on me (he slept on the berth above me) afterwards he shut the door very noisily (half past three in the morning) and than he captured  such sea creatures.

I have got satisfaction feeling the smell from the frying pan and eating them.The measure of the creatures can be seen in comparison with red pocket Swiss knife.

I thought that the bait for the calamary was a piece of bacon. Our mister (director of machinery division of our company ) used special plastic fish which he had bought in the shop for  80 Kuna (approximately $ 15).

Rainbow in Hvar

I haven't any yachting without island Hvar with its beautiful town  Hvar . I slept there several times. That bay is little bit sensitive to wind from the sea and from the land too. I have a new experience of this fact from this season. The wind started to blow moderately during the lunch time. Several members of the crew were in the restaurants and cafes on the land so the captain started to be little bit nervous. In several minutes wind became stronger. The first maid ran out to find all sailors from the crew. One second after the last man had taken aboard we felt that anchor drifted itself. Next moment the engine started and we sailed towards island  Scedro.

Lila

This marvellous name is for the yacht of our friends under the command of captain  Vlado Bartolcic , who had the same route with us. They had  Bavaria 46 and two  ship-boys in fact two ship-girls on the board.

They need not any sweetheart in each port.

I thought that those ship-girls prepared the food. It was only my oversight. The cook was their first maid, who has today all  necessary papers to be a captain. His food was very good. Maybe better then food of ship-boys (girls). And maybe that is the reason why he cooked.

I deeply offended one day our captain. I changed his food for the food of the first maid from the other yacht. I was lucky guy because he did not know it. If he had known it he surely degraded me.

Fish

Last time we ha d a prototype of atom fisher on the board. He is enough rich to buy anything what helps to catch the fish. His rods blink an beep anytime the fish is close to the line. The fish feel the bait at least from one mile..

In spite of this he didn't catch anything. He told us that he should go to Norway, there he will be able to catch such as long fish (his arms spread). He also said that Adriatic sea is dead sea.

Here is the proof that Adriatic sea is full of fish. This picture originated in the bay of Skolic in Murter sea. The fisherman come with such as load each evening during the season. Sometime their are not happy with yachts which occupy their space by mole. 

And this is the End

In the calm of the office in AM-30 Inc. two days after comeback from yachting. This snapshot  originated only because the other member of our crew wanted to develop the photos and he had some free space on the film. I only don't know, why he didn't find a better object.
