We investigated the spin-wave propagation in a micro-structured yttrium iron garnet waveguide of $40$ nm thickness. Utilizing spatially-resolved Brillouin light scattering microscopy, an exponential decay of the spin-wave amplitude of $(10.06 \pm 0.83)$ $\mu$m was observed. This leads to an estimated Gilbert damping constant of $\alpha=(8.79\pm 0.73)\times 10^{-4}$, which is larger than damping values obtained through ferromagnetic resonance measurements in unstructured films. The theoretically calculated spatial interference of waveguide modes was compared to the spin-wave pattern observed experimentally by means of Brillouin light scattering spectroscopy.
