Description

Uvala Borovica is an attractive, well-protected bay with clear water. Due to its narrow, V-shaped profile (quite narrow at the apex) and steeply sloping shores, anchoring with an anchor and shore lines is recommended, with the anchor ideally placed in the sandy area in the middle, as the edges are rocky and the anchor does not hold well there. The typical depth is between 8 and 15 metres. In summer, the bay is often crowded, which can lead to problems such as tangled lines and anchor collisions. Therefore, the bay is particularly suitable for experienced crews who are proficient at anchoring in narrow bays. Those who find a free spot can usually spend the night in peace and safety. It is recommended to limit the chain length and use two shore lines to avoid swinging and conflicts with other boats. In summer, there are often many wasps buzzing around the bay.
