In the hope of setting sail, we took the taxi boat to Palmižana, but the waves we saw on the way there clearly showed that would not be a good idea. Some of them would have capsized Mekićevica if they had caught her on the beam.
Instead of sailing we just went for a walk along the island to Taršće.
Back in the marina we watched the usual Sunday chaos as the freshly out of Split, Kaštela, Trogir, and other harbours on the mainland arrive to Palmižana. A huge Beneteau with inexperienced crew arrived with a jammed roller-furler and a piece of genoa out. In the fresh wind, that was too much for the bow trushers and they caused havoc in the marina. They ignored or didn't understand the advise to release the genoa sheets, and ended-up with a mooring line fouling their keel. By then the professional skipper from the neighbouring boat had jumped aboard and was trying to regain control of the boat. I saved the situation by going into the next boat, releasing the mooring line and freeing their keel.
