Time to return to Trogir.
The whole idea of spending the night in Vinišće was to be able to ride the Maestral on the way to Trogir. To our surprise, during the night the wind turned to the NE, and pretty strong as well, not just the morning thermal breeze. We waited a bit hoping for a change but finally lost patience and just set off with shortened sails. In front of the bay there was a yacht race going on. They went around a buoy in front of Vinišće and headed West.
Approaching Trogirski Zaljev, the wind decreased, as forecast, so we let off the full sails. The entrance to the bay was really busy, with lot of traffic heading out. Just as we were between a tug boat and the rocks of Čelice, a sudden gust of wind backed the genoa and sent Mekicevica spinning around her keel. A few moments of chaos until we got the situation under control, and then motored to Trogir marina.
The sailing is sadly over.
After waiting for the temperature to drop to bearable levels, we start preparing for the return. Mast down, empty the boat, and prepare the trailer.
To cheer us up, we had one last grill.
