keep any eye on the boat from almost every one of
themany restaurants in the harbour.
Windsurfers! Windsurfers absolutely ought not to
miss the chance of sailing in the morning
tramontana that has for centuries blown in Preluk
Bay (at the very head of Gulf of Kvarner). It starts
around midnight and achieves its greatest
strength after sunrise, slowly dying down towards
noon. At dawn, hundreds of windsurfers take part
in a motley of rushing colours, a scene that it's
worth recording with a video camera or suchlike.
The camp laid out in Preluka right down to the
sea, and protected from the sun by the pine forest,
is regularly swarming with windsurfers. They get
up very early, and go back to sleep when the
swimmers start arriving on the beach.
Sailing further along the beach, if we want to have
bid our final adieus to the city hubbub, we shall
avoid the enormous port of Rijeka, its shipyard
and everything that we might want to forget
during these few days of cruising. If we have
prepared our journey well, we very likely won't
enter the city port. But if we need a bit more
nautical equipment, such as charts, pilots, lists of
lighthouses… or some other thing for safe
cruising, we can find absolutely everything we
need if we put into Rijeka port. The Rijeka
Harbour Master's Office is available on channel
….
Since our aim is to pass between Krk and Cres, this
time sailing along the shores of Krk, on the way we
will notice several pretty, interesting and
promising places. The first of them is Njivice.
Njivice has a very solid stone pier, at the head of it
being a green lighthouse. One can tie up on the
inside of it. The pier is not very long. It has plenty
of depth as far as the mid-point of the inside part.
