Catamaran Ariki is 13 Years Old

Catamaran Ariki is 13 years old. The last scheduled repair was 5 years ago. Cracks and flaws in the wood were mostly all removed. Catamaran was ashore for a whole month. Repair proved to be a hard work, boat was ashore and sitting on hot alsphalt in august, the hottest month of the year.
Two years ago we also docked here, in Izola shipyard. For two days we docked onto a floating dock, took down the mast and repainted it. Emil was operating the crane. He is the one accompanying us, ever since we came here, to Izola shipyard, 13 years ago.

Today here is Emil's co-worker Matjaž. Emil is on holiday. Despite his age, he is still avid surfer. They make interesting team: Crane operator Matjaž is lifting captain Matjaž and Ariki, who Emil jokingly likes to call »the fastest paddle boat of Adriatic.« from the water.
