Sailing and Wildfires in Croatia
Flying firefighting planes, a huge cloud of smoke over the sea and ash on deck. That's how you can sum up the first days of sailing in July on the Adriatic Sea. It was worst around Split. A huge fire threatened the city, and from Trogir, where we were moored, you could see an enormous cloud of smoke. By morning the yacht was covered in ash.
| Total hrs | Under sail hrs | Engine hrs | Moored hrs | Distance NM |
| 168 | 13 | 34 | 121 | 215 |
The rest of the sailing went without major problems. We managed to visit the ports of Sukošan, Trogir, lying at anchor in a lagoon near Hvar, Komiža and Rogoznica (Frapa Marina).
When planning a cruise in July, you have to remember the higher prices for ports. It's also decidedly more crowded in the ports themselves, and even at the anchorages.

The Old Market Square in Łódź
As tends to happen at the end of the year, a little grumbling is in order. That Łódź is a different city from all the rest, I probably no longer need to prove to anyone. Sitting in front of my computer, I realised yet another fact that sets this place apart. We have no Old Market Square!
Foggy Wanderings Around Łódź
Some time ago I went on night-time wanderings around Łódź. The city seemed to me empty, sad and gloomy then. On a certain foggy evening I wanted to set out again and capture the beauty that Łódź hides somewhere within itself.
