Dugi Otok - Mala Proversa

The next port of call was to be Sali, but when we got there the marina was full and there wasn't anywhere sheltered to anchor so we continued on to the southern end of the island to a bay called Mala Proversa.

The bay was very quiet (until we sparked up the generator that is) with only a few boats anchored there. The water was crystal clear, and there were plenty of small fish swimming around the boat.

In the morning Darren shouted for me to get up, Mala Proversa was part of a national park, and a park ranger was collecting mooring fees from the surrounding boats (whose owners were also shouting... but at the ranger).

So we slowly turned on the motor, pulled up the anchor (being sure not to look at the ranger) and departed. At first it looked like the ranger was following us, but he then changed course. Whew!
