If you feel energetic enough, you can first sail to Ston and take a walk to Mali Ston, two more examples of the architecture of the Dubrovnik Republic. In Ston, you can tie up to the quayside provided your boat does not draw more than three meters. To reach it, you will have to pass through a shallow bay by following a well-marked shipping lane. When leaving the bay of Ston, pass through Mali Vratnik, the passage between Olipa and the easternmost promontory of the peninsula of Peljesac. You will be sailing along this peninsula all day and for some of the next morning.
After passing Vratnik, you can drop anchor to have a swim in the nearby cove of Prapratno, where there is a nice sandy beach. Later in the day, you can have another break in one of the coves of the large bay of Zuljana. The beaches, nestling among pine trees, between the islet of Lirica and the village of Zuljana are among the loveliest in the Adriatic. Watch out only for the shoals and reef in front of them while making sure you are not exposed to the maestral and the tramontana (the depth is 4 meters at the head of the pier in Zuljana).
There are still twelve miles before you get to the marina in Orebic, which is about thirty-two miles from your starting point of the day in Kobas. Orebic is known as the town of captains and faces the non-stop summer bustle of the town of Korcula on the other side of the channel. You can spend the night here, or, if you prefer, towards the end of the day when the maestral dies down sail for the nice cove of Kneza next to the promontory of the same name on the island of Korcula. If there is any sirocco, you will sail quickly most of the way. There is a pier and breakwater here (depths alongside vary from 2.4 to 3.5 meters).
