Croatia - sailing - day 4 - Kornati National Park

Our first day of sailing outside Murter. But first, another class - how to put the spinnaker up.
Unfortunatelly we won't be able to put the theory into practise just yet because the wind will be NW, and this is exactly the course we will take to get to Kornati National Park. For spinnaker you have to have the wind behind you.

leaving Murter, wind is good

In the late afternoon we arrived in Vrulje on Kornati. Because Kornati is a National Park, you can sail around it but you cannot anchor for free. So your choises are either to pay a daily ticket or to stop on the dock of some restaurant. We chose the latter, because te daily ticket is almost the same price as the dinner for 5 of us (ofcourse, if you decide to dock on a restaurant's property, you are oblidged to eat there).
In Vrulje you can hike to a hilltop and from there you can enjoy the view. The hike is a short one.
