Hauling Boats to Croatia: The Journey Home - 15th April 2026

It's the last day of the epic trip to take ILCA 6 dinghies all the way from Palma on Mallorca to Split in Croatia, with Sean doing all the driving and Nosher tagging along for the ride. For the last leg of the journey, we get the airport shuttle bus from the bus station at Obala kneza Domagoja to Split airport, and then an Easyjet flight to Gatwick, at which point we go our separate ways as Nosher continues on by train to Stansted airport in order to pick up the car, before the drive home.
