Sam Holmes sails solo across the Adriatic Sea from Marina Romini, Italy, toward the Kornati National Marine Park in Croatia.Watch The passage covers approximately 62 miles, with the boat experiencing light winds and broad reaches before shifting to upwind conditions.3:24 Navigation requires constant monitoring of AIS due to heavy fishing boat traffic.7:33 Upon arrival at the Kornati islands, the boat anchors in 15 to 30 feet of water over rocky bottom, but the anchor drags twice in 25-to-30-knot gusts.11:01 The skipper decides against going ashore due to the poor holding and the risk of the boat drifting into rocks.12:52 Research into Croatian marine park fees reveals a complex structure including a sojourn fee, navigation fees, and daily anchoring or mooring costs ranging from $30 to $50.11:52 The skipper plans to wait for the wind to shift before departing for the heel of Italy, followed by a passage to Greece and eventually Malta for engine mount repairs and a haul-out.15:50
