Above is one of the hardest working and most generous expats in Split, our friend Nigel Turnball.

Several years ago he set up Sailing School Croatia. Its the only RYA approved sailing school in these parts, offering a range of courses for yachties in a beautiful location – the Dalmatian Islands.

Together we enjoy the occasional recreational sail or we call him whenever we are off on a new adventure – he was kind enough to follow when the authorities forced us to take a support boat on our attempt to kayak across the Adriatic Sea.
