Three Weeks In Paradise. 10. Mlini (Pakleni Otoci)

The jugo came back in strength. So we are just going to motor across the Paklenici Kanal and spend the day at Mlini bay in the Pakleni islands. This is one of our favourite bays and well protected from the jugo.
On arrival we made the embarrassing mistake of trying to pick someone's anchor buoy thinking it was a conveniently placed mooring buoy. Well, we were not the only ones; we watched the same scene several times during the day.

Chilling-out at Mlini. In the foreground: Mekicevica's new "tender". Notice the motor boat next to us, it will feature again on this blog.

After a relaxing day, we motored back in stronger wind and higher waves than in the morning. Hvar harbour was even messier than usual, and the place we had been using was taken. So we had to look for a new place. Just as we found a narrow gap between two local boats we ran out of fuel, so had to pull ourselves by hand along the moored boats and finally be helped by a lady of one of the souvenir shops. What a nightmare!
