Leaving Istria

Today we motored some 43 miles into a southern wind and chop so that tomorrow (weather allowing) we can sail off to the islands and leave Istria behind. Unfortunately pretty little Venetian harbours have all been somewhat ruined by 70's Yugoslav hotel complexes and more recently by the arrival of mass tourism. Losinj is a good case in point, beautiful Venetian architecture alongside some shabby hotel complexes. We took a turn around the bay, took some photographs and didn't stop. We are staying tonight in a marina in Pomer on the very southern end of Istria. When we were last here eight years ago chartering with friends, we spend a happy couple of hours trying to anchor in this bay and mostly failing due to weeds and a poor charter anchor; consequently berthing in the marina seemed a really good idea and brings the benefit of on-boat wifi and a good looking restaurant which we later find has excellent local food and great service.
