TIP-IN SPLIT Movario
Rogonica Beyond the Bay, the Bay of Sibenik, continue to pay if you meet the islet of Smovica, covered with vegetation, which housed a military base, now abandoned, to the pier where you can moor. The island is separated by a short stretch of sea from the headland of Punta Movario -43 ° 30'40''N-15 ° 56'94''E. And 'this, by meteorological point of view, a key point because of Dalmatia, in the case of presence, a situation very frequent, high pressure over central Europe and a depression over the Mediterranean, N of this part of bora wind blows, supported and cold , while S of Punta Movar the wind comes from the ESE and is much more temperate. This is evident in the type of vegetation on the coast, Mediterranean-like Liguria, Tuscany and Corsica in N and S appear in the more southerly species, palms, citrus and carob trees, orange and lemon trees, growing, prosperous, without winter protection. It 'so often, browsing around here, seeing this sudden wind shift and to rack the brain to ask, what can it mean for the evolution of weather conditions. The coast to the Drvenicki Canal, which separates the island of Veli Drvenik is rugged and full of many of the creeks in which it is even easier because the seabed plunges rapidly to over 50 m.
DRVENIK VELI -43 ° 27'01''N-16 ° 08'53''E-The country lies at the bottom of a deep inlet, you can moor at the dock, on the left on entering, with water and electricity for a fee, or a pair of small inner docks. The village is nice and with an unusual church architecture compared to the area, there is a grocery store and the post. From the center unravel some paths leading to the eastern side of the island or a small church atop a hill on the west side. There are two restaurants, a slightly elevated position on a slope overlooking the marina. I ate at the restaurant "Vila Eleanor," which gives the impression of greater cleanliness and tables on a terrace overlooking the bay, the fish are not the levels of the cafes operated by fishermen on the remote islands, but it leaves eat.
Continuing And you come to a close, the Trogirski Zaliv, access to which is characterized by the presence of rocks , However, well marked, which gives access to the bay of Marina on the left, Trogir on your right.
MARINA -43 ° 30'82''N-16 ° 07'05''E-E 'a deep inlet on the western edge of the Gulf of Trogir, oriented E to W, and then open the bora here is insinuated in a violent manner and the sirocco which, although strong, does not raise the waves. In the town, dominated by a Venetian fortress tower, now converted into a hotel, there is a small pier in the port has little depth (less than 2 m)
preferable to the Agana Marina berth, in the western Gulf, where there moorings are equipped with various water and current.
TRAU - Trogir - 30'88'N-43 ° 16 ° 15'05''E-Protected from the island of Ciovo - Ciovo, now converted into a peninsula by the presence of a bridge, is one of the most beautiful and best preserved examples of a fortified city of Venice "Gulf" as the Serenissima called the Adriatic considered to be its exclusive domain. This particular location is the reason of its great development in those days, along with other cities such as Rab - Rab, Hvar - Korcula Kvar or when we were sailing with the "galleys", ships with oars mixed propulsion - sail from poor upwind ability, for which the ideal port had two mouths, arranged according to the prevailing winds, but had limited success and development locations placed at the bottom of deep and sheltered bays such as Mali Losinj, which, to us that we can start the engine in the "flat "seem exceptional, but required a rowing dovendoli take significant additional effort. The old town is dominated by the remains of a fortress, which closes the pier where it unfolds in a myriad of very narrow streets and alleyways (and indeed very dirty and full of stray cats and pigeons) who come to the square of the Cathedral of San Lorenzo , with its beautiful bell tower guilloche so they seem a minaret and hover where sounds, colors and smells of Venice. The view of the port is a bit 'spoiled by the presence of a large basin of the shipyard and the roar of airliners passing a few meters to land at the nearby airport of Split. You can moor at the quay of the old city, to English, trying not to impede the mooring of vessels of the trips and their crews are pretty angry, or on the opposite side of the channel, the piers of the ACI marina on the island of Ciovo - Ciovo, where is the distributor of fuel.
Island Solta - It 's the first of the large islands in front of Split you meet coming from N., long about a dozen miles, is directed from NW to SE, forming, together with the island of Brac - Brac some sort of barrier that separates them, as if to form a lake, the stretch of sea in front of Split from the open sea.
MASLINICA -43 ° 23'76''N-16 ° 12'75''E-Located on the west coast of the island of Solta, a narrow strait that separates the island of Drvenik Veli, dotted with small islands and reefs for which, to navigate in these waters, we must keep on hand chart and pilot book and avoid engaging in port, coming from N, through the passages between the islet and that of Polebrnjak Saskinja and between it and Solta, with depths less than 3 m. The village is at the bottom of a cove deep enough and repaired, although the Mistral, which in these areas is the dominant thermal wind in the afternoon time periods and stable high pressure, it creates an annoying swell, which disappears at sunset. You can moor at the pier S of the port, on your right coming in, before the remains of a medieval fortress, with dead bodies for a fee, and electricity, while the N quay is reserved for shipping line.
Continuing along the south coast of the island of Solta in SE direction, skirting an uninhabited area, with some small bays suitable places to stop for the bathroom, to the deep inlet of Tatinja -43 ° 22'34''N-16 ° 17'04''E-sheltered enough for an overnight stop at anchor, is uninhabited and gives a sense of wild beauty. Care must be taken, in accessing, some rocks, well marked on charts and pilot book.
further three bays deep are the extreme SE of the island, near the Splitska Vrata, the passage that separates the island of Brac Solta, and gives direct access to ships at the port of Split. These bays are STRACINSKA -43 ° 20'17''N-16 ° 21'85''E , SAIL UVALA Travna-43 ° 19'97''N 16 ° 22'53''E and Livka 19'99'N -43 ° 23'36''E-16 ° S-open to all, and then used for prolonged stay if there is any indication of arrival of the sirocco.
Along the north shore of Solta port which meets the first, coming from N, is to Rogac.
Rogac-43 ° 23'43''N-16 ° 18'04''E-deep creek forked, well protected from all winds, where you can moor in the bay or in one of the piers located beyond the platform used by ship of the line, there is also a petrol station but they observed a reduced hours in low season.
About 1 mile to the SE meets the mouth of the Gulf of Necujam-43 ° 23'08''N-16 ° 19'43''E-where, in the inlet Supetar, is equipped with a dock current and dead bodies and a wharf in the SW.
Continuing further 2 miles you reach the village of STOMORSKA-43 ° 22'36''N 16 ° 21'08''E-with-small jetty where you can moor.
If you continue along the coast to Trogir, you must run around the island Ciovo, being the bridge, turning once, immobilized for years.
The south side of Ciovo is characterized by some picturesque bays and inlets and extremely interesting to make a stop when you pass here. The top end of the island of Ciovo is the TIP-CIOVO -43 ° 29'36''N 16 ° 23'51''E-separated by a narrow strait by TIP MARJAN - 43 ° 30'46 ' 'N-16 ° 23'24''E-located on the coast of Split. Through this gate leads to the Gulf of KASTEL - Kastelanski Zaliv - a large creek, about 8 miles long, that goes from the city of Trogir, and the bridge, to the northern suburbs of Split, suffered badly from the environmental point of view, the runway of the international airport, factories, refineries and docks of the port of Split. Near the city-43 ° 30'90''N 16 ° 25'16''E-, near the football stadium, there are some small marinas and docks sailing clubs where you can moor but are quite uncomfortable, far from the historic center and the sea, and therefore to be considered in the case of very prolonged stop of the boat.
SPLIT - 43 ° 30'11''N-16 ° 26'02''E- The port city, rather wide, overlooks the old town. Entering on the right, there are benches reserved for liners and ferries, followed by a section of the pier where the boats dock smaller trips. There are some places available for pleasure boats dock in front of the building of the Harbour, but it is certainly easier and more convenient anchor the piers of the ACI marina, which occupies the left side of the port. The marina has floating docks with water and electricity, crane and machine shop, and nearby shops of water for any purchases of equipment and spare parts, also allows you to leave the boat for long periods, with contracts mooring monthly at affordable prices, and to return to Italy by ferry to Ancona, Bari, Venice, River or flying to Rome or Milan.
The historic center of Split is no doubt, from the architectural point of view, one of the most interesting in the world, where one may still use to residential and commercial buildings built 2000 years ago. The core of the city is made up from the palace of Roman emperor Diocletian who settled here, in the latter part of his life, around 200 AD, in a house fortified with palaces, temples and columns that have adapted to life and Affairs of the population in later centuries, so there is the unusual spectacle of seeing washing hanging between two columns, while enjoying an ice cream sit at a table in a bar housed in the Peristyle or dinner in a restaurant whose dining room is an underground palace and the cathedral, a round design, was derived from the Mausoleum Diocletian. Another feature of the city, not less interesting, is represented by the large number of girls and young women who, in the evening, the crowd along the tree-lined promenade and sea, all tall, slender and graceful with long legs and it seems to be a round of women's basketball teams. My friend Walter, who, while not an ethnologist, the femurs gynoid is a great admirer, has developed a theory that, in Dalmatia, the length of this long bone of the leg in females of the species homo sapiens sapiens, grows, from Fiume, 5 cm. every 50 miles to Split, after which decreases rapidly towards Dubrovnic. Pending further verification and confirmation of this important scientific theory, I suggest, however, scholars interested in men, an evening walk along the promenade of Split. Another major attraction of the city is represented by the market that takes place early in the morning, outdoors and in the roads and in gardens outside the palace of Diocletian. There is fruit, fish, dried and smoked meats and cheeses as well as all sorts of homemade items and artifacts from the surrounding areas, meeting point of peoples with different traditions and cultures. Dining options under the city, given its size, is unusually low in restaurants which are worth a stop. I will recommend two: "Sarajevo" in the old town, in a large basement with Roman and tastefully decorated lintels Balkans, where the food is mainly meat, skewers and thread proud, as well as some special features such as frogs or snails or soup lamb entrails. In the area of \u200b\u200bthe market, past the old town, is the restaurant "Kod Joze (tel. 021-347397), where they prepare delicious dishes of fish, shellfish, soups and grills at affordable prices.
