Three Weeks In Paradise. 21. Good-Bye Hvar

Sadly we have to leave Hvar and start the return to Trogir.
After we nearly ran out of fuel on the way to Šćedro, First-Mate insists that we carry reserve fuel. So we make way to the fuel dock (which is also the car petrol station). Unfortunately they were getting their tanks refilled and we had to wait nearly two hours. We finally started around 11, when the waters in front of Hvar were busy as usual. With too little wind and the wakes of all the boats around, we had to motor. Finally approaching Rt Pelegrin the water was calmer and we could start beating into the light Maestral. Once clear of the tip of Hvar we could turn into a beam-reach and made and made good progress to Uvala Osobova, on the south side of Otok Brač.

The beautiful and neatly kept Uvala Osobova.

Another lovely bay. Along the sides there are several, modest holiday homes, mostly belonging to people  from the inland of Croatia. They obviously take good care of their holiday place: Everything was very well maintained, the chapel looked freshly restored. There were even chemical toilets. The only two other visiting boats in the end of the bay were also crewed by Croatians who must have friends locally, as they disappeared to have a barbecue ashore.
We spent the afternoon and evening reading and swimming, and finished with a dinner of grilled aubergines that aunt Bonina packed for us.
