Cruising through Croatia, Charles and Elizabeth Thorp

Charles and Elizabeth brought their twin-keel Westerly Ocean 33 Aura across France to the Med in 2012 and after exploring Med Spain, France and Italy they arrived in Croatia for the first time in 2015. Other cruisers said they should go to Greece, and in 2017 they did, and also to Istanbul and south-west Turkey. Then in 2023, notwithstanding Croatia’s reputation for crowds and cost, they came back. They will share the story of their 2024 cruise from Dubrovnik to Istria and back, how they avoided the crowds (most of the time) and kept some grip on cost, and their experience of practicalities like formalities and sources of weather forecasts, and they will try to show some of the spectacular beauty of this wonderful cruising ground.

Please note: lectures can be watched live online but we do not generally make recordings available after the event, for a number of reasons relating to time and copyright issues.
