We chose an alternative living and bought a used sailboat in Med. We are first time boat owners, who quit our jobs and left our busy lives behind in California to start our long-awaited sailing adventure throughout the world. Our first stop is Istanbul, Turkey to visit family and friends. Afterwards we fly on to Zagreb, Croatia, and finally drive to our marina in Slano, just north of Dubrovnik. Like everything else in life, when you start digging beneath the surface, that is where you find the good stuff. It took us 5 years of dreaming, planning, saving, and 2 trips to Europe to find our dreamboat. In this video, we show our journey to our boat and what is involved to get a boat ready after winter in order to start the sailing season in 2021. In between our boat projects, repairs, and provisioning, we explored the local area of Peljesac peninsula where the famous Croatia wine Plaviac Mali (cousin of Zinfandel) is from. Also, the town of Ston is located here. The walls of Ston are a series of defensive stone walls about 7 kilometers long. After the Great Wall of China, the walls of Ston are the second-longest preserved fortification systems in the world. Finally, after all the prep work, we take Sea Bee out of the marina for a test sail to a nearby island and start planing a week-long sailing adventure to Mijet, Korchula, and Hvar.
