A Relative Joy (10/8)

Miscommunication and a change of plans about when to launch the sailboat, a 66 foot Turkish made "gulet" named “Hera” put some egg on my face; twice I had to call my Mother's cousin, Vanja, via an English/Croatian speaker to change plans. But finally, the date was set: today at 9:30 AM we meet at the beautiful Hotel Peristil which is not only within Diocletian’s Palace, but shares an original wall with the palace garrison wall built some 1,700 years ago.
