Saturday June 30 back on Vis in Komiza

Written by Jack van Ommen on June 30th, 2012

I plan leave this afternoon and sail during the night arriving by day light on the Italian coast. It is about a 100 mile trip. I hiked up totn he cemetery at the St. Nicholas Church. I had told my daughters that I wanted to be buried in the cemetery at Sea View, just North of La Conner overlooking the San Juan Islands. I changed my mind instead of looking at the Anacortes refinery I want to be buried here. Better view yet. I found more Petric and Dorotic names in this cemetery. On the way back to the boat I ran in to Antica Dorotic(h) from Cleveland, Ohio. Turns out her father Tonze D. is a cousin of Tony Blazevich a fisherman from Bellingham, wo I have met years ago and is a friend of my best friends in Bellingham. Antica’s sister is married to a Petric from this island.

I am looking forward to my sail around Italy but a little sad in leaving this beautiful part of the Adriatic and its connections to the North West.

    Dear Jack,
    You probably won’t remember us but we were one of the charter boats (Sunsail) moored next to you in Vis Town at the end of June. It was a pleasure to meet you, albeit briefly, and hear about your amazing adventure.
    We have booked to sail in the Grenadines next May with our sailing buddies.
    Happy & safe sailing.
    Best Regards,
    Amanda & Dave Prescott, UK

    Yes, I remember you. I figure that I’ll be near or in the Grenadines in the spring of 2014. Keep an eye on my blog I am planning to sail to a few English destinations in the summer of 2013.

    Yes, I realized that. Komiza is a Vis Town (Town on Vis) I stopped there again on the way back before I crossed over to the Italian East coast. Looking forward to se you all again.
