Nick delivers a Beneteau Oceanis 48 named Dektos from Dubrovnik to Trogir, Croatia for a haul-out, sailing in mid-March with a gale warning in effect that ultimately produced thunderstorms, rain, and hail rather than the forecast gale.▶ 0:24 The overnight passage includes a stop at anchor where the hook drags slowly through squalls — Nick lets it run, knowing clear water remains ahead — until crew member David drops more chain without warning, waking Nick to a noise he mistakes for grounding.▶ 7:12 The anchor comes up fouled with weed and a fishing net, which they cut free.▶ 7:56 At a fuel stop, the boat takes on 130 litres of diesel across two tanks.▶ 8:03 A Croatian police check catches Nick without crew passports; he had grabbed the wrong bag.▶ 8:36 At Trogir, the haul-out requires removing the backstay to use the yard's smaller lift rather than the large one, and an unexplained sharp shock through the rig during the final approach to the slip goes unresolved.▶ 10:48 The yard uses a slip-and-cradle system with ground movers to position the boat on the hard.▶ 12:07 Nick notes a common charter-marina policy: outside contractors pay roughly €200 per day to work on privately owned boats, limiting what service can be completed in a single visit.▶ 13:11 A faulty starboard nav light clears itself before departure; clip-on silicon emergency nav lights with 3-nautical-mile visibility and 12-hour battery life serve as backup.▶ 4:03
