Kocula

This morning we were sailing and so we all were able to sleep in. I slept until seven which felt like heaven since I didn't have to set the alarm. I went into the lounge again this morning and had the place to myself. I sat and read and drank coffee anfd thouroghly enjoyed myself.

We went into the island village of Korcula around 1:30. We had an absolutely charming guide and thevtown is lovely. It too is all sandstone and hilly but it just feels good. It is a place we need to return to. The sail in was also lovely. The cliffs in the fjord are gree
To about three fourths up and then are shear cliffs of whitevrock. They remind me of the mountains around Les Baux in the South of France (don't I sound terribly world weary?)

Back on the ship was the evening of the Captain's Gala so we all dressed up and had wine and hors d'overes on deck. Then we went in for dinner which was very good, the meat dish was a very tender veal with an excellent gravy.

The boat set sail about ten and we will sail most of the night. There is just one small problem. Our toilet is backed up and I can't seem to get the attention of anyone to fix it. This could be most unpleasant for everyone in the next few hours. I am planning to go ballistic in about 15 minutes if it doesn't either spontaneously repair itself or the plumber doesn't arrive.
