After breakfast we set out to find the Ulysses caves. We had a fair idea where they were, but didn't know exactly. The caves were meant to be only accessible by boat. As we progressed it was obvious that we had gone to far, so Darren spotted a fisherman, and proceeded to take tender over to see him. Speaking no english, Darren eventually understood that the caves were back about 6km.
We turned around and eventually spotted some people sitting on rocks. If you didn't see the people, you would never know that there was anything to see. We got close and dropped the anchor... I reversed back until we were close to the rocks and jumped in to secure a stern line to the shore.
We were set, sitting right in front of the cave entrance. We jumped in with our goggles and flippers and swam through the cave.
As you swam in it didn't look very spectacular, but as you neared the end of the cave there were millions of fish swimming all around you.
When you turned around the true beauty of the place revealed itself. The sunlight from the entrance of the cave shone through, and the colour of the water took your breath away, it was like something you would see in a movie. Absolutely stunning!
We spent the afternoon there swimming, diving.. and the odd halyard swing.
It was then time to head to Dubrovnik about 30nm down the coast. Today we were picking up Kary, Marie's niece who was arriving from Brazil.
