Omis & Pucisca
We cruised to Omis, an ancient town with city walls, fortresses and stone churches. We were swimming early in the day as it was 33 degrees. After Omis, we had a stop where we swam off the back of the boat before cruising to Pucisca, on Brac Island. A quarry here which was reopened in 1455 had been unused since Roman times. It was from this quarry that stone was excavated to build limestone columns in the White House, Washington DC.
