We can make the way back from the southern
Adriatic more interesting by going into the broad
channel (the Lošinj Channel) that is formed by
the southern end of Cres and the long eastern
coast of Lošinj. At the end of this channel we will
head into a strait at the end of which is Osor, the
city that links the two islands. If we come from
Olib or Silba, this itinerary will be the only
possible one if there are any very strong winds
from the third or fourth quarter. But since these
winds are not all that common in the central
Adriatic, we shall try to find some reason in the
charms of the places that are one the menu here,
and choose the course that we now have it inmind
to suggest.
Although it is not terribly important, if we want to
be proper when we sail into the Kvarner, we might
mention the existence of the Kvarneriæ Vrata
(Gate). This lies between the isle of Grujice and
Silba. Children can knock, since they have fancy
enough.
The course for Osor will take us to the east of Ilovik
and Sv. Petar, and then further along the eastern
coast of Lošinj. Vele Orjule and Male Orjule,
together with Lošinj, make up a channel that is
called Sidrište Orjule (Orjule Anchorage).
Somewhere in the middle of this anchorage we
will see Trasorka islet, which conceals an
attractive bay. But if there is any kind of need, it is
better to anchor in the shelter formed by Vele and
Male Orjule.
Lošinj is full of bays. Bo ina, opposite the point of
