Finally a call came that the cooling water pump we ordered from the USA will clear customs.  Since the local Croatian technician was not reliable we order a pump from Miami Florida, a company called YachtAid.  They were very good and got the pump out via DHL right away.  Croatian customs however sat on it for a week.  Then they gave the agent the run around in the afternoon she went over to get it.  She had to return the next morning and it took another three hour before they gave it to her.

 

Anyway we headed back to the same marina in Sibenik, got the pump, washed the boat, bought some laundry and a few boat parts and departed the next day.  With summer beginning to shrink we wanted to get north to Zadar so we left for an anchorage on Otok Pasman.
