Questionnaire
Šćedro has 87 bays and points, wearing common names. But the two docks situated to the north and south of the Vela head are wearing names that the linguists haven't interpreted. The one on the north side is called the Sotivi, and the one on the south of Tulitoni. It's interesting to guess what these toponyms mean, so if figures it out, let us know.
