Getting ready for the season, May 2024

After a year in the Mediterranean, Belisama experienced the high UV levels that led to the destruction of our tender by explosion! and the blowing of the main sail cover and the canopy during a severe episode of Bora winds (see specific post...).

Start of the 2024 season!

22nd February, water-borne again, en route from Marina Polesana, Pula, the new homeport of Belisama, to Marina Veruda, the largest marina in the area, and where the annual service of the hull can be done. First winter sailing, under still quiet Yugo (south) wind with temperatures around 10°C. Luckily, the sea is quiet. We struggle to reach 4 knots with engine running at 2200 rpm and heavy turbulences in our wake, indicating that something is holding us back in the water...

Let's see...
