Making new curtains!

Julie

We hoist the anchor and sail out of the bay. It’s a bit nerve-racking to maneuver between the anchored boats without using the engine, but it goes well. It looks like it will be another warm day, but the clear blue water makes up for it. After our sail, we’ll be able to jump in and cool off. While we’re underway, Greg starts baking a whole wheat yeast bread, which he puts in the oven a few miles before we arrive. When we finally drop anchor, the whole boat smells like fresh bread. It feels like we’ve become a little bakery on the water. We tidy up, take a refreshing swim and light the barbecue. The next day we take out the sewing machine to finish our curtains. I chose a warm orange fabric that fits perfectly with the wooden interior. It helps keep most of the heat outside. We had already made window covers that could be inserted into the windows, but they kept falling down. It was definitely time for a replacement. On July 20 we lift the anchor again and set course for Pula, where our sailing friends Oriane and Eliseo are staying. So we’re heading a bit west again.
