I think last year someone got a much shorter ferry across a lake and had to go back due to the race director not approving it. Although that might have been because it cut out a significant bit of specified climbing, I can't remember.
But basically I think when it says "allowed with approval of race director" it means only in unusual / exceptional circumstances
branwen-
Probably worth noting that even after correcting the mistake riding back and then around the bay and re-climbing Kotor he still went on to win...

Kristoff had to go back and ride a section again. I'm not sure how he found out. Perhaps one of the controllers told him or he noticed people mentioning it on twitter or something.

Will they take the ferry? If so the Venice- Pula ferry goes at 17:30, local time, so does that mean that his lead will be eliminated?
If they do it would be a great time to catch up on sleep.
There's also- Ancona- split/ zadar, which leave in the evenings (roughly 20:00), but require an italian detour, though provide maybe a better route on the Croatia/ Bosnia + Herzegovina side...
