Seen from the town of Rab, Seadream I anchors at bay. Since the yacht has been here before we were allowed to come into the waters without a pilot and captain Bjarne would anchor the ship right in front of the old, walled town. You can see the local town beach and the beautiful water in front. While the water can rival the caribbean any time, many beaches in Croatia are rocky. Very few (if any at all) feature sand. If you pack accordingly and bring bathing shoes this should not be a problem. Having no sand means also having great visibility for snorkeling!

Rab is also known as the town with 4 towers. The last one belongs to some ruins of a church and can be climbed for great views of the town and the ship. (Free admittance)

Rab city in the evening. The light made for some "magic moments".

 Seadream would tender into port here (the same as for every other port we went to execept for Venice). A tender ride would be approx. 10 minutes. There was hardly any wait for the boat. If you had to wait, they put up chairs, shade, cookies and soda drinks on the pier. Quite a lot of tourist would come by, look very surprised and even take pictures of you waiting there for the tender. Truly a VIP service for Seadream guest!

That evening, Germany would play Spain in the finals of the European soccer cup. There were 13 Germans and 4 Spanish people on board and everyone watched the finals on the big screen in the salon. Well, sad for us, but the Germans lost. Seadream stewards would bring out champagne for the Spanish guests after their victory for the celebrations. (Nice treat). And anyhow: The spanish team was way better and deserved the win! That ended our first real day on board. Our next port of call would be Hvar.
