We arrived midday on Wednesday 9th May to a sunny Sukosan. The drive through from Slovenia to Zagreb and down to Zadar was an easy breeze. We found Deja Vu II waiting for us on her cradle in the compound, ready antifouled and polished.
Nigel had a list of jobs that seemed endless, a lot of them routine when starting the season. They ranged from checking all the seacocks, mounting the new anchor, installing a new GPS aerial (the old one was damaged), checking out the house batteries – we discovered we needed to replace them, fixing the aircon pump, replacing radio plugs – to name but a few.
We had had problems with parts of the teak decks where some of the rubber strips had deteriorated (old age) and become sticky so needed replacing. We spent a while ourselves digging out the old rubber with special tools Nigel had brought from the UK, but it was soon clear we needed the help of the very efficient professionals. What a relief to hand that job over! Here it is filled and curing before cleaning up..we hope it produce a great result!
