the vicinity of Tuner it is advisable to head closer to
the red lighthouse.
Entering the town port, we will notice one more
pier, which protects the harbour from the
southerly winds. On the wharf there is a mass of
rubber fenders, a sure sign that passenger ships tie
up here. Somewhat further off there is a part of the
port that is suitable for tying up, but it's mostly full
of fishing vessels. At the very bottom of the bay
there is a gaggle of buoys that yachts can tie up to.
Since it is shallow by the shore, it's best to make
fast to a buoy from the stern, and the bow to the
shore.
And this is the end of the bay. On the other side
there are lots of vessels owned by the local people,
tied up to several pontoons. Here the sea is shallow
and it's not a good idea to add to the throng.
Between these moorings for the locals and the Rab
ACI Marina is a filling station. And right behind it
are the pontoons of the ACI Marina. These
moorings can supply water and electricity, and the
other marina facilities reception, washrooms,
restaurant are just over the road that runs along
the very shore.
Although the whole of the bay is most unpleasant
during any very strong sirocco, it is most unsafe to
tie up in the city part of the harbour, right by the
walls. As well as the south wind creating nasty
waves, the sea level can rise so fast that sailors do
not manage to decide on time to shift somewhere
else (the marina) or sail out of the bay. When the
sea reaches the level of the harbour itself, it is very
hard to find a sure way of protecting your craft
fromdamage
Rab is a real tourist town, or city rather, for it really
has everything that holidaymakers want to give to
their vacation.
Southward ho! This journey will lead us alongside
the long island of Pag. Good luck!
