Our captain circumnavigates the two tiny islands just off Perast. St George (L) is a natural island dotted with pines but Our Lady of the Rocks (R) is man-made. It was supposedly formed from old boats and rocks placed there by sailors over several centuries. The ship's horn sounds long and loud, then echoes back via the jagged mountain chasms. Seconds later, the church bell of Our Lady of the Rock rings in reply.
