LILY'S LOG

Still in Turkey we spend the evening in thd wonderful bay of serce limani. Laura guts and fillets the tuna like a pro. Rod grills it with oliveoil, some spices and a butter sauce.

Motoring west against the wind. Our course towards Greece hasn’t found yet the favor of the gods.

We climb to the graves above tomb bay.

We decide to head north for the Greek Cyclades before the Melthemi sets in. In sw winds Lily shows off her two new forsails with 8kts.

At the bazar in Fetiye

While anchored off Gucek in a small bay we sunbath, swim and mount a block for the furling staysail.
While at anchor, our Solar panels keep Lily’s energie balance positiv.

Laura is the Cowgirl. Lily in the background.

Into Skopea Bay just South of Gocek. After a couple overcast days, delicious to feel warm sun again

Climbing the rocks above the cove we anchored Lily. We are rewarded with a spectacular view over the bay of Fethiye.

Red cliffs and caves

Kucuk Kuyruk is the name of this little bay East of Marmaris, nicely wooded and inhabited by goats. Kuku B-)

Rod’s at it again: memories of catching that tuna are still fresh

Swim @ 21.7 Celsius! Nice spot at anchor and tied stern-to near hamlet of Ekincic

Landing at ekincik limani

Hazy but warm, no wind but sunny first day on the boat

Glassy seas, no more wind so motor on. Still got in a dozen nautical miles

Captain Rod where he belongs. Full sails to South and then East towards Fetiye

Turkish haircut includes having earhairs burnt away by flaming torch!

Sad moment of retiring the Dutch bikes who served us well for over two years
