Stay another day in Vis or turn your bow towards Stončica cove, well protected anchorage and very good departure point to reach Palmižana, from where you can proceed to Vela Luka.

2 GIORNO
VIS - BISEVO - KOMIZA (19 NM)
During stabile weather conditions the destination for today will be Komiža, small fisherman's town, eleven miles from Vis. First head for island of Bisevo (if the weather is strong or cloudily we advice you to avoid it) and its renowned Blue Cave on the east shore. They are best seen on a sunny day at midday. As the sun comes overhead, white rocks on the bottom are lit up from underneath and all the caves turn blue and the water turns silver. Take your boat and call for guided tour in a fishing boat and pay few kuna. Do not forget to take masks and snorkels as you can swim from the fishing boat once inside. It is best to leave one person on board the boat circling. Do not anchor in front of the cave, because it is very deep. You can stay till early afternoon. Keeps on mind that numbers of berths in Komiža are limited. Breakwater is fitted with mooring lines. Facilities - water and electric power on the quay, grocery, restaurants, pharmacy.

Anchor in narrow passage eastern of islet, later in the afternoon head for Vela Luka, small town situated on the head of the bay. The harbour is sheltered from all winds, but strong wind from west direction sends in waves. There is few mooring lines, but if you do not get one, drop the anchor and come with stern to the quay.

4 GIORNO

Sail around islet of Prezba and follow the north coast of Lastovo. Enter to Zaklopatica cove using the eastern passage. This is small pretty cove, very sheltered except in bora (NE). This is also the best departure point to reach the town of Lastovo, of course if you want to stretch your legs. In the swimming season you should not miss Saplun islet and its lagoon on the north side of the islet. Approach to the lagoon from the northeast direction. Drop the anchor and enjoy in clear blue water. In the afternoon continue to head east to Mljet. Mljet is beautiful wooded island and place where Odysseus was kept prisoner for seven years by the nimph Calipso. Pomena is the main tourist resort on the island, therefore is difficult to find berth along the seafront outside the hotel. The seafront continues to the wide quay reserved for numerous day-trip passenger boats. If is quay crowded, anchor in south part of the bay or on other side off the islet of Pomestak and take stern lines ashore. The reason behind the crowded quay is the magical appeal of Mljet's nearby lakes, and you will certainly not be an exception when it comes to visiting them. Ten minutes of walking in the deep shade separates you from the lakes, most beautiful part of the island as a whole, this area has been designated as a national park. There are two lakes, Malo and Veliko Jezero, and you will find the water in the smaller lake is always 3-4 degrees warmer then sea.

Scedro is the next stop over option for the lunchtime on the way to Palmizana. Enter in the cove of Lovisce and anchor in the side inlets.
