Description

Pogana is a small village of 50 inhabitants south of the island of Cres (Cres) overlooking Jadriscica Bay. The bay is recommended for anchorage for those who are leaving the Kvarner area and heading south toward central Dalmatia. The bay is an adequate shelter from the bura that can blow very strong in this area and at the same time the bay has an easy entrance, a good holding bottom and is very wide. In case of strong bura the most exposed part of the island of Cres is the eastern part which is identified by the steep cliffs and which for these very reasons is sparsely inhabited, so if you find yourself sailing along the east coast of Cres and a north-easterly wind begins to rise, it is advisable to continue to Pogana and take shelter there. In case of sirocco, on the other hand, it is to be avoided.

Also in the eastern part of the island are 2 nature reserves where the griffon vulture, a bird of prey with a wingspan of more than 2 meters, finds a home. These birds tend to build nests on steep cliffs and thus find an ideal habitat in this area. In October, the mating season, it is easy to see two specimens flying in the sky side by side.

For those coming from the west, on the other hand, passage between the island of Cres and the island of Losinj is only possible during the opening hours of the bridge (9 a.m. to 5 p.m.). The channel is 3 meters deep and only 12 meters wide so there is a precedence system: boats coming from the south pass first, maximum speed allowed 5 knots. Access from the north is signaled with red flashing light 1.5 seconds. Although the western part of the island is much more lush and inhabited once you pass the channel, Pogana is still a good choice for anchoring since the bays along the way are smaller or have some impediments such as in Kaldonta where anchoring is no longer possible due to a fish farm and in Martinscica where you have to be very careful of the shallows and shallow depths in some parts of the bay.

There are about 20 or so buoys in the bay, all of which can be paid for; some are located in front of the Baldarin campground where there is also a restaurant and a refueling station. The depth varies from 4 to 2 meters, do not stay too long inside the bay. At night on the Pogana pier there is a glittering green light, 2 meters depth only at the head of the pier.

Do you need to sell your boat? You are in the right place! yachtdigest.com is in fact the largest online portal on recreational boating and in this section you will be able to write your ad for free if you want to sell your boat. Adding a new sales message is very simple and intuitive as is finding a boat you are interested in buying, but to make your listing even more appealing, we want to give you some general but important pointers that you can follow if you wish.

First of all, try to personalize your ad, describing the history of the boat and perhaps the reason why you are selling it, this way you will gain more trust from the reader.

You can call it “half-new” if it is almost new, or “used” by specifying whether or not it is in good condition. It indicates the condition of the engines, the year of registration, how many owners it has had-most importantly, it indicates whether the boat has been owned by a single owner: it increases interest to those reading the ad.

The goodness of your craft must shine through in your message, because before you can convince someone, you yourself must be convinced that the product is good.

It is important that no spelling errors are made in the advertisement, so reread the message well before putting it online. The language then must be clear and simple, understandable to all.

It serves to attract interest and induce the reader to continue reading; it is the most important part and should summarize in one line the whole message we want to give. Unfortunately, you don’t have much chance to stand out much except with something really original to attract attention. So focus on truly original details of the boat, its real qualities: in the yachtdigest.com portal this brief summary will appear by hovering over the picture of the boat with the mouse.

It is important to clearly include the general record of the vessel. Always enter: shipyard, model, length, width, draft, engines, number of cabins, year of construction, price.

In the boat sheet accurately enter all boat details, standard and extra equipment. It is useful to communicate many details and details for those who are really interested and will continue reading beyond the first few lines.

Suggest to the reader who wants to buy the best features of your craft, and do not indicate-unless it is necessary to inform the buyer in advance-information that might negatively influence the reader.

Always indicate the price. Unless you absolutely do not want to deal, we recommend adding the words “price negotiable” which gives an incentive for the buyer to contact you.
