The light southeasterly breeze offered a great morning sail from the island of Mljet toward our next destination, Korcula. Once home to a prosperous shipbuilding trade, the island was covered with dense forests of Aleppo pine, cypress, and oak. Now Korcula is famous for outstanding white wines produced from the limestone soil and local vineyards. The town of Korcula claims to be the birthplace of Marco Polo, the greatest medieval traveler whose alleged birth house can be visited today.
