We weigh anchor and sail in Primosten despite weak winds further south. In Trogir, we expect to visit. Pascal and Schnurbi to rise and sail with us for a week.
After leisurely sail with blisters we have found a pretty bay with a small village Vinisce. The next day we continue to Trogir. Two uncomfortable, noisy nights await us there at anchor. The Bora greets us again and that is why it blows uninterruptedly through the shrouds. Trogir has a well-preserved, beautiful, old city located on an island. We explore the town and are looking for fresh food and a washing machine. With both, we'll find it. It has a great vegetable market, fish market and a large butcher's shops. Soon, our fridge is full again. Read full post »
The time goes by. We enjoy the days to get used to us and our Whisper to the new Lebensrhythmus.Mit good 4-5 Beaufort winds, we sail over the Kvarner Bay in the north of Mali Losinj Artaturi. A beautiful bay, which in summer is pretty full. Currently it has only a few ships, and is not just fashionable bathing weather. After a restless night with heavy squalls, which by shaking our ship, we sail the next day close to the wind continues to Premuda. Before we set sail, our ship is used as a rallying point for a whole flock of birds. A beautiful sight, failed ... hopefully not our ship full!
Umag it went into the Solinebucht that lies near the Limskikanal. In a quiet anchorage we enjoyed two days. As we sailed on the wind matched with 20 knots wind in the direction of Pula. Our Whisper went wonderfully close to the wind and we were very quickly show up despite the marina in Pula. There we expect our friends Bernard and Charles, who came back from her sailing trip to Pula.
Pula us then held on for longer than desired. The Bora, a blustery north wind with rain showers and cooler temperatures allowed us to stay three days in the marina. Read full post »
So now we are in Umag, Croatia and were able to enjoy the first sunset.
We had a calm crossing and the wind SW 2 Beaufort, came naturally to the nose, although all bet Judge Erber promised north wind. So we had to stop the engines 20SM, but we wanted to finally go. Now we can enjoy it again to be free. Have einklariert in Umag and now hang on the buoy in the great harbor.
After the damage in the hull was professionally repaired by the painter of the Marina and we had twice the antifouling painted, rigging out we were finally ready. But what a fright, our Whisper depends on the crane over the water and the crane is no longer roll. The engine is not running and the crane operator presses around nervously and uncontrollably on his self-control. Hopefully it's not suddenly going on a bit! After 10 minutes long sought the help of the crane operator and rigging out the other runs smoothly. Read full post »
Now we have already done much. Hans Peter has fashioned a great locker in the bow and made a stand for our screws and spare part boxes.
Yesterday Hans Peter polished the hull of our old lady. We are delighted every time she shines like it.
Now we still wanted to emphasize the anti-fouling and rigging out on Wednesday. But that should not be so. We noted at the ship post one about 10cm long crack, which goes up through the gelcoat. Already in May, we made the crane working on the Deele in one bracket carefully. The ship was not enough on the keel. They brought in front of the rudder to support relief and we were confident that the ship is now well.
Apparently that was not enough.
Today came the crane operator, the marina manager and the painter inspect the damage. The painter wants to scratch the gelcoat down tomorrow and increase the fiber and make the new building. It lasts until it is dry for about 3 days. Thus, we can at the earliest to expire on Friday.
Fortunately, we have noticed the damage, he may be kept within limits.
Today, we have deleted the first time the anti-fouling and tomorrow comes the second coat. Then we have time to do other work, which we have postponed. To which the weather is not very good. We anticipate and will see when we can go.
