Lovely to have you back with these posts ! We spent several summers in viganj opposite korcula - driven initially by the lure of a good wind for windsurfing and cheap currency when an ice cream in France was £5 . Returned several times for the simplicity of it . Only one store and an infrequent vegetable stand , several family restaurants and a very chilled beach bar which hikacked the kids . Almost lost holly on a board one day - discovered her heading towards a massive cruise ship off korcula unable to turn back upwind 🙄no one was stressed . I suspect it’s rather more sophisticated now sadly .. pop over and let me know ? Sorry not to have seen you when you were in town - are you back at all?
Hi Julia — Viganj! What a find that must have been. Good to hear that Holly made it back in one piece. We've been ducking windy weather for the last few days and have nudged further north, so won't make it to Viganj for a while. Maybe on our return south in a couple of months. No plans for the UK at this stage. We were hoping to get to Jess's wedding, but the boat is also an anchor. Possibly towards the end of the year. We'll keep you posted :)
Stay curious. Has been one of my mantras since we met in JWT all those years ago. It’s kept me motivated at the dullest of times. Safe sailing my friends.
Hi mate, the older I get, the more I believe it. Turns out it works just as well at sea as it did in the agency — possibly better. Never a dull moment. Chat soon :)
Hi Edana — thanks for your comment, couldn't agree more. Curiosity and bravery are learned, not inherited — and the best classroom we ever found was a boat with nowhere comfortable to hide. Thanks for bobbing along with us :)
Another fascinating read Craig!
Thanks Nick — see you on the water soon. We'll save you a good anchoring spot in Croatia :)

I think parenting today for a lot of families is missing adventuring and teaching your children to be curious and brave ! Love this post !!!
