Your hotel or Inn or the airport curb can arrange a taxi to the marina.  If on Trogir, an option is to walk over the little footbridge to the mainland parking lot and catch a cab from there.

Itinerary …
As those who have done a Voyage with us can attest, we keep a pretty loose schedule. This helps us play the weather (for your comfort and sailing pleasure) and to enable last minute adjustments so we don’t miss anything amazing.  This is a small group, 12 of us (plus crew) so we can discuss places we want to see utilizing the crew’s local knowledge.  Brac, Hvar, Korkula, Mljet, sound interesting :).

Contact Woody …
Text and email are free for me:  +1-310-357-1070.  Calls are not expensive if that’s easier.  I arrive on Trogir June 3.

Dubrovnik …
Perla officially parks in Zaton Bay, north of the castle village old Dubrovnik at 0900 on June 13.  If you are making arrangements for a transfer, ‘Zaton Bay’ is what to tell them (I’m told).  Most of us will be heading into old Dubrovnik for that evening.  The crew can arrange transport a few days before, while onboard, if you haven’t already.

Money …
If you have not been able to secure Euros (or Kuna) from your bank, no worries.  Croatians (Croats) inform me that you can change dollars at banks during narrow hours and also exchange places in tourist areas.  3% is a normal fee.  Check the fee and exchange rate with them upfront.  ATM’s work as well for smaller amounts, similar fee.

Clean Wake …
If you think of it, adjust your home thermostat (and less lighting?) for while you are off Adventuring.  Adventure Voyaging has purchased Carbon Credits to offset our group’s emissions while on Gulet Perla and for some travel.  If you are interested in offsetting your flights, we like Cotap.org.   About $40 covers round trip from the west coast, $30 from the east (if my math is correct – remotely possible).
