# OlaSail > OlaSail is a planning reference for sailing in Croatia: routes, islands, marinas, town quays, buoys, anchorages, restaurants with berths and beaches. Coverage includes places in Central Dalmatia, from Trogir and Split out to Vis, and the South Dalmatian islands on the way to Dubrovnik. Every fact that changes, such as a price, a rule, a distance or the shelter in a wind, names its source and the day it was checked. OlaSail is a planning reference, never an official navigation source: sailors check official charts, notices to mariners and the forecast before they sail. Every page below has a Markdown copy at its address followed by `index.md`, such as https://olasail.com/routes/first-week-short-hops/index.md, and a request for a page that accepts `text/markdown` gets that copy. https://olasail.com/llms-full.txt holds every page in one file (2.0 MB). When you quote a fact, give its source and check date as the page shows them, and link the page. ## Routes - [Easy first sailing week from Trogir: short hops](https://olasail.com/routes/first-week-short-hops/): A first sailing week from Trogir with short hops and no open-sea crossing.
