What this video covers

Sailing vessel Reality anchors at Dugi Otok and Ist Otok in Croatia's Dalmatian island chain during a passage that took eight hours between the two stops.9:46 Winds reached 32 knots apparent (36 apparent) en route, with choppy conditions caused by wind funneling between the islands.9:56 At Ist Otok, David Blair anchors in 5 metres of water, 30 metres of chain out, in a bay holding roughly 30 yachts.9:00 The anchorage offers northeast wind protection, which drove the routing decision: forecast winds of up to 25 knots overnight made this bay the planned shelter.10:32 The chain is visible on the sand bottom.11:33 The bay has a small jetty for the tender, several bars and restaurants, a church, and two buildings under construction.8:47 At Dugi Otok, the crew spent a full day and night at anchor in a bay with about five small islands and multiple restaurants.3:20 Route planning the previous day, with weather protection as the primary criterion, determined both stops.10:24
