Sunset in Piskera
by Selim E. on Wed, 29th, Aug 2018
Wind again fresh. We do another walk on top of the cliffs. Swimming and Snorkeling until midday. We leave in early afternoon towards Piskera. Again lovely downwind sailing. We sail in southern direction between Kornat island and the western Kornati islands. Today my brother notices that one of the lead pulleys for jib is completely worn off and does not turn anymore. I have noticed a certain resistance when pulling in Genoa sheet before but could not think of such a defect. Fortunately the Genoa sheets glides quite easily round the pulley. However, I consider this a major and safety threatening defect to be included in the logbook.
Sunset North of island Piskera we leave the inner channel and sail towards the open sea to be able to enter Piskera port from West. Preparations for berthing take quite long as I have to explain all the necessary to crew. Around 5pm we take berth in Marina Piskera. It is good to be in harbor after two day at sea. Magnificient sunset.
