Day 2 in Split

Saturday, 9 June     Day 37   Daily Log   Voyage #  0307

Well, the word from the beach is that there are few bargains in town. The US Dollar just doesn't go very far now a days.

Croatia is not on the euro and today's exchange rate is 5.3 Kuna per dollar. There are tours of the ancient ruins available as well as rentals of jet skies and other water crafts. So things will be happening today, our second day in Split

After a long day of hanging around in the sun, sightseeing, and partaking in the local festivities, our students are ready for a little shut eye. To regain their energy so they can explore some more tomorrow.

Synopsis: 

 

                         Our industrial setting in Split        Captain Donny provides a commentary on,?? "well we really don't know"

                            The road less traveled                                   Sidewalks look like ice after a midday rain

Rockland/Castine  Excursion:

Rockland to Castine the day we arrive back at our home berth (30 June) has been designated as a possible "excursion day".  The U.S. Coast Guard has granted us a permit to take extra persons on board above our vessels certification.  To do this we have to have certain lifesaving procedures and equipment on board.  Accordingly the numbers we can take are strictly limited.  We, of necessity,  have limited our guests to 2 persons per upper class student on cruise (immediate family members only) plus official MMA invitees and crew member guests.  We can not offer more because we do not have the lifesaving capability.  Also this is always a tentative adventure which, because of weather, security, operational difficulties etc. may be cancelled up to the last moment.  The security issue is becoming a big item in how we offer and execute these excursions, so for those who are planning to attend please be patient with the necessary safety and security procedures.
