MONTENEGRO

June 14th, a nice day of actual sailing for a change from motoring that ushered us into the country of Montenegro and into the Port of Bar. Maybe a sign of better cruising?

The town was tidy and had a pleasant shore-front presence with a gorgeous mountain backdrop.

Bar nestled against the mountains

We tied up right in front of the Harbour Police and Customs offices (N42°05.875' E019°05.376') where we were instructed to go a short distance to the Harbour Master and then return for passport stamps etc. (all without an agent). With only a modest cruising permit fee, we were good to explore Montenegro for 1 month.

After spending a rare night at a Marina (N42°05.841' E019°05.276'), it was off to downtown Bar to get a SIM card and data so that we could have internet while in Montenegro. We signed up with M-Tel and what a deal! For only 5 Euro ($7.50 CAD), we got a SIM card AND got 10 gigs data for free! Things are definitely looking up so far for Montenegro!
