Paradise Regained. Blue Cave and Stivina

One of the famous attractions near Komiža is the Blue Cave, on the Biševo island. Rather than sail there, we decided to join an organised excursion by RIB. It was my first time on a speed boat and I am not impressed. That they are fast is the only thing to be said for the damned things.
But the Blue Cave really matched the expectations.
The surreal Blue Cave.
Back in Komiža, we sailed out of the bay and then eastwards along the south coast of Vis. The next intended stop was the Stivina bay, a small pebble beach behind a narrow gap in the rocks. Apparently it is very popular and the space in front of the bay was a real traffic jam of boats. With some regret, we turned around and continued our route.
The ridiculously crowded Stivina bay.
After the southeast tip of Vis, we sailed between Vis and the small Ravnik island and entered a nice bay where we picked-up a buoy under sail. The rest of the afternoon was passed swimming, lazying in the afternoon sunshine and then having dinner aboard and sleep afloat.
