If you didn't to sail to the Skoji last night, you will see them on the morning of the third day. Shortly after passing the Skoji, you will reach lovely Lumbarda, famous for its Grk wine (there is a small marina within the harbor of this small village). From here, you will sail past the promontory of Raznjic towards Pomena on the mythical island of Mljet, which is 14 miles from Korcula's harbor. Exercise caution while sailing between the reefs and the islets as you enter Pomena.
You will immediately notice the pleasant fragrance of Mljet's lush pine forests as you tie up along the seafront. There are power and water points on the seafront (depth 3 meters) outside the hotel. The seafront continues to the wide quay reserved for numerous day-trip passenger boats. In summer, it might be crowded; in this case you can anchor on the other side off the islet of Pomestak and take stern lines ashore. It gets crowded because of the magical appeal of Mljet's nearby lakes, and you will definitely want to visit them. If you set off from the harbor, it takes only about ten minutes of walking in the shade of the forest to reach the lakes. In order to preserve the lakes this area has been designated as a national park
Set off for you next leg of 15 miles along Mljet's northeast shore for Prozura in the early hours of the afternoon. Exercise caution as you leave Pomena. First enter the passage between Pomestak and Mljet (depth 5 meters), giving a wide berth to the shoals and reefs on the south side of the islet of Glavat and staying over one mile off the islet of Maslinovac. Once past these, there are no more obstacles. In Prozura, the best option is to anchor within the harbor or, if you prefer total peace, off the reef of Senjevci (if the bora blows, it is wise to stay in the harbor).
