Enjoying sailing and visually connecting with the environment.

19:30 – Zečevo: Listening to underwater sound recordings.
Participants will listen to the natural sonic landscape of the seabed at a selected location in contrast to the occasional introduction of anthropogenic noise in order to understand the intensity of this type of noise underwater.

After the listening experience, on the way back we will have the opportunity to try delicious local wines. This is a time to share personal insights and feedback.
