Day 5 of Sailing: Vinogradisce Beach, Quick Stop in Hvar, and On To Milna

This morning we had some boat side services that were really unique to us.  Someone came to our Mooring ball to collect our garbage.  Also, a bakery, juice, and fruit market boat paid us a visit.

It was fun purchasing a few breakfast items this way.

Shelly was taking a ferry boat from Hvar to Split, so we got to view Hvar from the harbor.  This would be a great city to visit in the future.

Hvar is really grand and beautiful as you can see.

One of the cool things about sailing the Croatian islands is you come around a corner and than the city appears. That is how we first experienced Milna.

Milna is a small town worth visiting.  The beach is really nice, it was around the corner from our marina and we all enjoyed swimming in it.  You just go down to the rocks along the shoreline and swim.  There are showers there to rinse off the sea water.

Milna has a big fishing presence there.  Some of the buildings in the main part of town were destroyed in 1991 during the Croatian Civil War.  Don’t let this stop you from visiting here.  The people are so friendly and we all really enjoyed this town.
