Hello Craotia !!!

Hello Croatia,

 The land of the most beautiful costs and winds. Croatia - nice place, warm and friendly people, good winds. Paradise..

Hi everybody,

 As you should have already understood I am in Croatia, in Viganj,  preparing for Central European FW Championship.

Short pre-Croatia story. In Lithuania my dad checked the car and then repaired everything what was wrong. You don’t want that your car would break down 2000 km away from your home, huh, do you? And we still remembered our last year trip to Sardegna (our conditioning system broke down just before we came in Sardegna, which greeted us with 35 -39 degrees).

We successfully passed Poland, and then in Czech Republic … guess what’s happened.. I think you  know.. yes, air conditioning system break down, again. #@$^&^^&(***(^^^$%#!/

So Croatia greeted us with 38 degrees. Nice, warm J.

Viganj is one of the most beautiful places for windsurfing I have ever been. All the cost is covered with campsites and small apartments, so there are a lot of choices were to live, the biggest problem is to find a shady place. From camping to the sea it’s not far – from 10 to 100 meters. After you go out of the camping you need to cross road, but there is not a lot of traffic, thus don’t be afraid of it. The beach is fully covered by small stones. After you go in the water, it’s getting deep very suddenly: 1meter away from the coast – 30cm, 2meters – 0,5m, 3 meters – 0,7m, 4meters – 1m, 5meters – 1.5m, 6meters – 2m.

Windsurfing conditions:

The wind comes from two directions here: from the left – light wind 8-10knots, or from the right – anything from 8 to 30 knots. Water is a bit choppy – wind chop, waves from the passing boat, soft wave from the sea.

Today the wind was blowing from 1 pm to 8pm. from 8 to 20 knots. When I came out at 2pm there was no FW sail on the water, but later there were coming more and more and more and even more. I think once there were about 25-30 sailors on the water. As far as I know and have seen Oliver CRO 7 is the best guy in the fleet. He is going downwind really fast and makes catapults really fast as well, it can be easily seen that he spends 270 days on the water a year.

The best food for lunch is watermelon. You don’t really want to eat a lot when its so hot here and you want to drink a lot so - eat a watermelon, it gives you power ;) .

Bye guys, see you tomorrow. I hope for another good training day.
