foundations of the monastery hold a space filled
with sea-water and vaulted by the walls of the
monastery. Glavotok is situated at the place where
two boras cross; in the vicinity of them, whether
because they cannot agree, there is almost a lull.
On Cres, the island opposite Krk, when we are in
the neighbourhood of Glavotok already (the
western part of Krk), it would be a shame to miss
the chance to visit what is at the very least an
unusual village Beli. But if a bora is forecast, or
already blowing, tying up in Beli will not provide
us a good shelter.
Two miles to the south of Glavotok we will come
upon two bays: Vela Jana and Mala Jana.
Something rather serious is being undertaken
there, but if we go a bit further in, we can find a
good mooring. There are also pontoons, and we
can hope that all the other things will soon be
finished.
In Srednja Vrata we will see the attractive and safe
Torkul Bay. Only a mile or a little bit more to the
south lies the car ferry port of Valbiska. This is the
well-protected bay from which the regular ferry
lines link up Krk and Cres. Even in the worst of
weather, when the other ferries will not ply, the line
here never stops. In fact, sailings are too frequent,
and it's a good idea to get past the bay as soon as
possible so as not to bother the ferry traffic.
Further down the coast of Krk, Krk Town will
provide a variety of features for us, cultural and
practical. In Krk harbour there is a filling station,
