We began our day with a sail around the island of Korčula as we heard presentations on board. Local cultural specialist Petra Nostic spoke about the past and present history of Croatia, and historian Dr. Rebecca Ingram spoke about the Venetian Maritime Empire and its legacy in the Adriatic. As we approached Korčula, we saw the magnificent limestone mountains surrounding this medieval town.
In the afternoon, we had our last swim in the Adriatic before making our way into the village for a guided visit. Once inside the walls, we heard a brief history and saw the wares of many local artisans of the red coral shops.
After our tour, we watched a Moreška dance performed by the local men and women. Our evening came to a close with the bright moon guiding our way first to sample some local pizza and gelato, and then all the way back to Sea Cloud.
