It was time to rest for a few days. The wind was no longer in our favor and we had some boat projects to get done before clearing out of Croatia. Luckily, Kolocep Island was just the place to do it.

Natual swimming holes on the outside of the island. Note: the nude beach was luckily empty that day!

Kolocep is the first island outside of Dubrovnik, and is a popular day stop. Not that many boats stay overnight though, and the island doesn’t have any cars, so it was quiet enough to be just our style.

We went ashore after a day or so to explore and immediately found one of the friendliest cats and one of the most chill. Can you tell by their photos?

Each day we’d work in the morning, have lunch ashore, and then go explore. We found cool little coves, perfect spots for a cold beer. And lots of gorgeous flowers all in bloom.

We also discovered little old tractors of a sort with towing trailer that could haul gear or people all over the island. This is how the locals get themselves and their gear around.
