part of the bay there is a fine beach for taking a
dip. Ships of ten metres in length will anchor
here without a problem but we cannot
recommend overnighting here.
After the light on Prestenec Point, our course will
take us by Pecenj Point. In the immediate
vicinity of this there is a wreck on the seabed (a
circumstance it very likely has something to do
with), the frequent haunt of divers. So keep a
sharp lookout for underwater swimmers,
especially if you have a powerful speedboat. The
name of the wreck is Lina.
Alongside Cres one can sail very close to the
shore. The sea is extremely deep here. From the
sea you can see the road that goes all along the
island from Porozina. But if something should
happen, some breakdown or similar mishap, and
we think of anchoring in the vicinity of one of the
marvellous and numerous little beaches, and
getting from them to the road to go in search of
help…Forget it! The dwarf vegetation, however
low in stature it might be, is so tangled and
overgrown as to make the area impassable to
humankind. It is sharp and thorny, without a
single branch to help you on your way up. A quite
incredible jungle, and none of it out-topping a
man. There is no reason to be surprised, in fact,
because the whole of Tramontana, the northern
part of the island, that is, constitutes a far-famed
chase. The game here includes boar and deer.
Only a mile to the south of Pecenj Point, the
inhabitants of Dragozeti keep up a landing in
the bay of the same name. Here there is a long
quay at which tripper boats often tie up. The road
from the quay leads to the village itself, two
kilometres distant from the sea.
