The week started with wind, thunderstorms and heavy rain (mainly during one night) but afterward the weather got better and better, and we ended on a calm Adriatic Sea with the sun shining. The archipelago is not like the Swedish archipelago, with thousands of small islands, but instead a number of larger islands, with 3-7 km crossings between them and a lot of open sea. You mainly follow the coast line.
The nature is rough, but you can find bays with sand or pebbles. On the cliffs you find, on two places, the rare Griffon Vulture, a scavenger and Europe's largest bird with 2.80 meter wingspan. Due to the weather we unfortunately missed the northern part of Rab, which should be spectacular.
