TRANSCRIPT

All right. Number 2. What is the best time of year to sail in Croatia? Very subjective. Very very very subjective. Again. Because. I'm going to use the Dektos crew as an example right now. I'm going down to meet them and I've sailed with them for the last couple of weeks. They have basically said. We love this. They've been sailing here the last two weeks. And they sailed Christmas, New Year. They love this. They love not having to reserve ... there are no boats on the water. It's just absolutely stunning. And they're not even planning, by choice to come back in the high season. Bought a boat in Croatia and they're not planning on sailing in the high season simply because they love it so much in this time, right now. And we've been swimming, ah tee shirt weather. It's been cold as well. I've been through four seasons today. I drove through Dugopolje, there was a big hail storm that came through on another one of my clients who are doing bareboat assist right now and they just got hammered on the corner of Hvar. They got hail 2 inches on the deck and now the sun is out and I'm in my tee shirt again and I'm sweating. So again it's subjective. So, what do you want out of your sailing? What is the best time of year? You've just got to consider all these factors and figure out what it is you want from there. If you want hot, parties, you know, like hustle and bustle and all that, it's going to be mid season, July, August, September okay that's going to be your time. If you want still everything to be open and a little bit of vibe but not super crowded, super crowded, you're going to be looking at May, June and end of September, October. Okay, if you're looking at cruising around the islands and not really having to outlay a lot of money, all sorts of stuff like that and just be chilled out then. Look winter. I love winter. Generally I stay out, if you're going to plan, don't do March. Cos, we've had some serious Bura's in March. In saying that I did two weeks sailing in March.

I went in May as well end of September. It was very quiet on the waters which I like. However, the advantage of going after the season being end of september/October as that the sea water is warm and comfy to go swim in whilst in May it was still very chilly :)

Sailed last year in Croatia in September (Trogir). Totaly overcrowded by flotillas and party boats. Sometimes it was hard to find a berth

September water is still warm, the weather is still hot, the hords have gone, children back at school, summer bars restaurants still open, . Prices have gone down for flights and charter boats,
