After a rough crossing to Split and a quiet one to Milna, we needed to make up for the lost miles.

A great learning about decision making processes when planning a passage. The weather forecast was not exciting, with rain squalls, 1.5-2.0 m waves and SE wind 20-25 Kn. At first, we planned to go to Uvala Necujam, a secluded bay in Šolta island.

However, the idea to have a nice dinner in Split prevailed. When we modified the plan, we assumed that we could have docked at the city wall in Split.

That proved wrong, because the wall was exposed to the swell entering the harbor. It is something that we should have checked.

ACI marina Split refused to give us a berth, and the crew was too tired to set up sail again. After a very unpleasant discussion with the ACI marinero, we ended up moored on the outside dock of the marina.

There was not much shelter, and it was a high price to pay. Lessons learned: always think that the first objective is to keep crew and boat safe, all the rest comes after.

ACI Marina Split has several negative reviews due to their attitude, we had it confirmed.
