Cast off 11.00. Strong S.E. winds building to 20knots + by late morning, gusting later to 35knots. sailed downwind with Genoa only. Poked into Vrulje en route to Piskera and grabbed a mooring buoy for lunch at 13.00. Strong gusts made it difficult to helm boat so dived in to hook line up to buoy, providing great entertainment to other boats (wet T-shirt!). Ended up staying put as winds did not abate and other boats from Flotilla had to dock in Piskera in 4o knot winds with waves crashing on the rocks. Good decision to stay and enjoyed wonderful dinner aboard the 42 ft Catamaran (palace) who were on next mooring buoy. Thanks to skipper Bruce Maunder and his lovely family and friends!
Vrulje is a settlement on the Kornati Islands only inhabited during the summer months with well-frequented restaurant "Ante" and "Robinson".
