We had an easy less than one hour check out in Corfu, Greece. No fees. Our planned next port of call is Kotor, Montenegro for one week then on to Croatia until mid July. We have a one month berth reserved at Grand Marina in Malta for the month of August if anyone is…

An easy check out (other than having to tie to the wharf) and we were on our way 20 miles up the coast to Cavtat, Croatia. Cavtat, five miles south of Dubrovnik, was an…
