Gocek appropriately pronounced - Go Cheque

Sitting at the head of another beautiful bay in the northern extremity of the Environmental Area. En route we meandered our way past and between attractive islands and anchorages worth checking out on our way back into the zone.

Gocek is a schmick town rivaling Noosa Heads (for those non Australians not familiar with Noosa, 'up market' covers it, and no, Noosa Heads is not a breed of weed)


The Skopia 'Mega Yacht' Marina was where we headed for... Just a tad out of place, but hey, we're as wide as some of these  these big swinging dicks!


Polished concrete wharf's no less, power, water, laundry service, showers, pool and pool bar and really not as expensive as Boderum or the like but not cheap.

We spent some time in the 'Gourmet Garage' for example, and came out AU$250 lighter.. Are we appropriately provisioned for a catamaran cruising the Med? ..... Oh yeah!

Gocek town is a short walk, paved throughout with well stocked chandler's, fishing shops, supermarkets delivering to the boat, waterfront restaurants and bars.

We topped up the wifi, got the large laundry done, provisioned the boat for a few days of anchoring, played pool at a bar three quarters surrounded in water until the wee hours.

We'll be back.

Oh, and a huge water tramp a few meters from the boat, the water clean enough to swim in and the kids entertained for hours. Not to mention some much needed aerobic exercise for the captain and his mate...

When I went to pay the mooring fees I asked if I could buy a Blue Card.... "Sorry, we've run out". Google tells us the the whole Blue Card deal is a croc so we'll just stick to the rules and hope  talk our way around it if the police do come alongside.
