I pop out of bed and hurry to the Promenade deck to watch our sail-in to Split. I’m eager to see the area I’ll soon be exploring. I’ll be escorting a tour going up a mountain road to the small town of Omis, located on the estuary of the Cetina River. We’ll be boarding a riverboat to sail down the river, stopping for a stroll through the forest and then further on to a restaurant for a lunchtime snack.
The wind is so strong, I can barely push the door open. The waves are choppy with whitecaps. We will be dropping anchor and tendering in, which will be difficult in this weather condition. I go to the Queen’s lounge and wait to be called for our tour. The captain comes on the PA system to tell us that we’re not going ashore, as it is too dangerous. We are pulling up anchor and leaving. So instead of a great day on the river, we split Split. Bummer!
