Leg 82 of 97 · Passage plan · RYA Yachtmaster standard
East past the Elafiti islands to Dubrovnik, round the Daksa islet and up the Rijeka Dubrovačka inlet to the marina at Komolac, a bus ride from the walled city.
Decide at 08:00 CEST. Go only if all of these hold:
If the weather is wrong, stay at Mljet. The Elafiti islands have sheltered bays on the way.
Waypoints are planning positions in open water, checked against a 1:10m coastline to be at least 0.5 nm off land except at the harbour ends. Distances and courses are calculated from them. Plot every one on the current chart before use. Courses are true.

From the Split station.
Monday 16 August 2027. Tides. The range here is 0.1 to 0.3 m: tides make no practical difference. Wind and air pressure move the sea level more than the tide does.
Dubrovnik uses the Split station, about 90 nm away. Treat the times as a guide only.
Tide times are predictions made for this plan from the TICON-4 harmonic constants (DGFI-TUM) with the Neaps tide predictor, because the official 2027 tables were not yet published when it was written. Tested against the official APDL table for Leixões on 23 July 2026, the predicted times were within 8 minutes and the heights 0.1 to 0.2 m lower. Heights are above lowest astronomical tide. Check every time against the official 2027 table before sailing.
Daylight. Sunrise at Mljet 05:58 CEST. Sunset at Dubrovnik 19:48 CEST.
