What this video covers
Sailing the Kornati and Telašćica National Parks in Croatia requires daily permits for private vessels, which help fund the preservation of the region's barren, rocky landscapes.1:12 Navigating the Kornati Canal involves managing fluky winds that shift direction frequently due to the surrounding hills, often necessitating motor-sailing.5:35 The area features narrow channels where wind-against-current conditions can generate significant waves, though the fetch remains limited.8:14 Anchoring in the region proves challenging due to extensive hardpan seafloors; divers should verify anchor set, as the gear may rest on rock rather than burying in sand.9:45 Popular stops include Uvala Kravljačica, where hikers can access the Tureta Fortress, and Uvala Mir, which provides access to high-salinity Lake Mir and nearby Adriatic cliffside trails.8:56 Local entrepreneurs, such as mobile produce boats, service anchorages, while the village of Sali offers public stern-to docking and ferry connections to the mainland.13:39 Checking the seafloor composition before anchoring is essential in rocky Croatian coves to ensure proper holding.9:43
