I walked around some more this morning knowing there was a 5PM ferry to Korcura. I found a guesthouse there with a 9.4 booking.com rating (that's rarified air!) for €37 and booked it.
I had a decadent afternoon drinking the local Croatian beer which is delicious. A little after three I set out to get my pack from the storage kiosk and buy my ferry ticket. What could go wrong? It was sold out. I had another beer and thought about what to do next. My second trip to the ticket office confirmed that there was no standby.
So I called the 9.4 guest house and the proprietor, Helena told me to go to the ferry and call her from there. I arrived at 4:55 and told her it was mobbed and totally sold out. She told me to get on the boat and give my phone to a deckhand. I have no idea how it happened but I'm writing this post from that ferry! It's a raucous scene because Croatia is playing Czech Republic in the European soccer championships. Big flat screen tvs are are common as good wifi here and the ferry boat is no different. It's a motorized catamaran and the 2.5 hour, 55 mile trip takes 2.5 hours.
