Uvala Soline (N43°32.397' E015°58.655') is the larger of 2 bays at the end of a well-protected waterway on the mainland of Croatia. We bypassed the main bay of Luka Rogoznica and its village with the big marina and numerous mooring balls to find this nice quiet spot with lots of space to anchor for free with only a few boats around on July 27th.
The next day we motored around the point and into the bay of Rogoznica Village which sits on what was an island but since was connected by a 500 m long causeway.
We took on more diesel at the marina's fuel dock and washed down our deck that had accumulated a coat of salt from a ruckus ride a couple of days ago.
Across from the marina, in front of the Village where a number of boats were Med-moored, we noticed an exception. A lone sailboat sitting at anchor. So motored over and asked if anchoring was allowed. They said they stayed the night and no one said anything so we decided to stay a night too and dropped the hook (N43°31.679' E015°58.028').
Later we noticed a no-anchor sign but pretended we didn't see it.
Magic hour
It turned out to be a pleasant stay. During the day with hardly a soul in sight we walked all over. Past the marina and beach areas and out to the lighthouse point. Then at dusk, we ambled along the waterfront village street lined with the usual eateries and shops while being entertained by an open air band. As the sun went down, the scene came alive with the teeming evening strollers. Where do they all come from!
Candies galore
Our fine evening ended with the best seat in town - our own deck - watching the big round "blood moon" rise over the town.
