Let's take to the chart with the aim of getting to
the western coast of Cres and keeping out of the
way of the bora that has been forecast and then
let's think again. Shall we really race off that
fast, or after all take a trip to Lovran, Medveja,
Moš eni ka Draga or Brse ? By land, because the
quays here don't offer any protection while the
bora is blowing.
Moš enice! If for any reason we put our cruise off
for a single day, from Moš enice we can take in
the Kvarner with a look, as from some lookout-
tower. Or if we have already put out to sea, let's
take a glance at Moš enice. From it, and from
the woods that surround this gorgeous little
town, the Old Slav gods Perun, Svantovid and
Torun gaze upon us.
If the weather is settled, sailing towards Cres one
ought not to miss the chance to take a dip on one
of the marvellous little bays with their white
beaches that have nestled between Moš eni ka
Draga and Brse . Most of them are inaccessible
from the land, and this is bound to please
privacy-lovers.
If a strongly gusting bora happens to catch us
half way to Cres, or if we have to take cover for
some other reason, giving up on our plan to
reach Cres, a safe haven is certainly Rabac, and
its wide harbour. The eastern part of it during the
bora, the western part during the sirocco.
On Cres, inspecting the northwestern part of it,
closest to the mainland, we will spot Porozina as
a possible sheltered spot. Porozina is a car ferry
port, very busy indeed in summer, and so we do
not recommend it to sailors. In summer, ferries
link Cres and the mainland (Brestova
Porozina), sailing non-stop. In the southern
