Plovidba Obalom Hrvatske znači osjetiti vjetar u kosi, sol na koži – i čuti karakterističan zvuk galebova iznad broda. Oni su neizostavan dio morske slike, vječni simboli slobode, ljeta i Jadrana. Galebovi prate ribarske brodove, odmaraju na molovima, glisiraju uz barke i znatiželjno promatraju sve što se događa na moru.
Bilo da plovimo uz istarske stijene, zadarske otoke ili dalmatinske rive, galebovi su uvijek tu – poput nevidljivih vodiča koji nas podsjećaju da pripadamo ovom moru. U narodnim pričama i pjesmama, galebovi su često simboli čežnje i daljine, a u stvarnosti – oni su prvi znak da ste stigli na more.
Tijekom našeg putovanja Obalom Hrvatske“ galebovi će nas neumorno pratiti, pa makar i samo da provjere imamo li što za gricnuti.
Zato, kad ih ugledate – zastanite na trenutak. Pogledajte kako lebde iznad valova, slušajte njihove glasove i dopustite da vam pokažu pravi ritam Jadrana.
And now, let’s sail in English…
Traveling along the Adriatic means feeling the wind in your hair, salt on your skin – and hearing the unmistakable cry of seagulls above the boat. They are an essential part of the seascape, eternal symbols of freedom, summer, and distant shores.
Seagulls follow fishing boats, rest on piers, glide alongside dinghies, and curiously observe everything happening at sea. Whether we’re sailing past Istrian cliffs, the Zadar archipelago, or Dalmatian promenades, seagulls are always there – like invisible guides reminding us that we belong to this sea.
In folk tales and songs, seagulls often symbolize longing and distance, and in reality – they are the first sign you’ve reached the coast. During our journey along the coast of Croatia, seagulls will follow us tirelessly, even if just to check if we’ve got something to snack on.
So when you see them – pause for a moment. Watch them soar above the waves, listen to their calls, and let them show you the true rhythm of the Adriatic.
