We left Sarande at 2 PM after only 6 hours in port. Part of the reason was that there was a long trip ahead and the other, more pressing part, was that there was a wind event on its way. They expected 50 knot winds and 4 meter seas. We had experienced strong winds and big seas the previous evening so we understood when the Captain announced that our stop in Kotor Montenegro was going to be canceled, Instead we were going to try to out run the winds and get to Dubrovnik a day earlier than planned. When nature gives you wind, have a flowing scarf photoshoot!

Hee hee hee
Holding the reigns tight
A fine day for a photoshoot
They call her windy
Close up
It is not easy when it is so breezy
Hang on!
Sometimes it is too tight
Leaving Albania behind
Smooth seas to start
Rugged coastline
Deep ravine
Is that a cave or a shadow?
We were at the narrowest point between Albania and Italy and I thought this was Italy...it was not
Clouds hanging on the cliffs
Seas are picking up
Floating Islands
stuffing the cushions inside
Batten down the hatches
Whitecaps
We are rocking already
Orange sky at night something ain't right
