Day Eleven [Part one] – Korcula or Not.

We woke early and after showering and packing the bags for our trip today, we went for breakfast. We had booked on a “Vines and Wines” excursion that would take us wine tasting in addition to having lunch in a Croatian farmhouse. When the Captain comes on the tannoy at 7.30 in the morning you know that it’s important, when he starts the announcement with “I’m Sorry”, you know it won’t be good news. The winds on deck were apparently in excess of 50mph meaning that the tender operation could not be attempted, he even said that he would have difficulty stopping the ship with these winds. Therefore we would not be making the arranged stop at Korcula [pronounced Kor-Chew-La apparently] and would therefore make our onward way to Gibraltar. Sylvia had promised to ring her Dad from this stop , so can you tell him Lorna – thanks. More Later………………..
