Sailing the Šibenik archipelago: 69 nautical-style kilometers under sail

Sixty-nine kilometers of Adriatic between the Kornati edge and the Šibenik channel: this track is one long day under sail, recorded from a phone in the cockpit with nautical units switched on.

On the water the track itself becomes the logbook — every tack and every lazy lunch-bay stop is in the line.

Tracks as a sailing logbook

Speed-over-ground is recorded continuously, so the speed chart doubles as a trim diary: you can see exactly when the afternoon Maestral filled in. Marinas, anchorages and konobas worth returning to are dropped as POIs with photos and notes.

Nautical units, offline charts

NomadTracks speaks knots and nautical miles when you want it to. And because custom maps work offline, a scanned pilot-book chartlet of the archipelago can ride along as a georeferenced overlay — handy redundancy when the chartplotter belongs to the charter boat, not to you.

About the place: Šibenik, Croatia

The Šibenik archipelago on Croatia's Dalmatian coast borders the Kornati National Park — a labyrinth of more than a hundred bare limestone islands that is one of the Mediterranean's classic charter sailing grounds. The season runs May to October; mornings are typically calm with the Maestral sea breeze filling in reliably after noon, and protected coves with mooring buoys or small konoba restaurants are rarely more than an hour's sail apart.
