Before setting sail for the cove of Krknjasi on the island of Veli Drvenik and further on towards Primosten, you'll want to take a leisurely dive to see the remains of the fish farm.
You have to cover exactly eight miles to reach Krknjasi. The two islets, Veliki Krknjas and Mali Krknjas, cordon off a lovely lagoon that is ideal for swimming. The cove provides good protection from northerlies but less so from winds blowing from the south. Your anchor will lie on a sandy bottom. Enter the lagoon either from the south or via the straits between Veliki Krknjas and Mali Krknjas with depths of 2.7 meters. The distance from Krknjasi to Primosten's marina Kremik is 16 miles. If you opt for Primosten's seafront, add another mile and a half.
If you sail in the afternoon, you will most often beat the maestral. It is conceivable that you will encounter choppy seas off Ploca promontory, as this is the Adriatic's maritime and meteorological watershed. On the tip of the promontory stands the chapel of St. John to which many a sailor's prayers were addressed. Kremik marina is in one of the most sheltered coves in the Adriatic, and, as far as weather conditions are concerned, you will spend a quiet night here (there is also a petrol station). In Primosten, you can use one of some twenty berths equipped with mooring lines and power and water points along the breakwater. They are safe in all conditions. It is also possible to anchor between the breakwater and the shore with depths of 4.5 meters, but if the sirocco blows forcefully, your anchor will not have much holding power.
