Threshold is headed south, a long way south.

16 years Karyn and I have been sailing Threshold in circles around the North Atlantic and the Med. This year, after a couple of zigs and zags, it will be mostly a straight line south toward the Beagle Channel.

Going to the “barn”

30 September 2012 | Didim Marina, Altimcum, TK
Gumusluk: last stop for this short year of cruising. This is an ancient fishing village that now bills itself as such to the tourists by lining the shore with fish restaurants and very small hotels. Attractive as in “not over the top tourist”, no vehicles other than boats, and an active archeological site covering the small islet in the center of the harbor. This was a very pleasant finish to our Greece and Turkey cruise. With only 18 miles to move to get to Didim Marina, a too fancy marina in the middle of “nautical nowhere”, we spent most of the day walking the shore line and then snorkeling around the island looking for antiquities and the sunken rock structures from thousands of years ago. The afternoon forecast of very light wind had us anticipating motoring north to Altimcum, Didim Marina for 18 miles. But once out of the harbor and away from the influence of the land we found perfect wind; light from the NW. At just the right angle we could sheet in tight and sail directly on course. Three hours, anchor up to anchor down, was a fast dry sail and excellent exercise for Threshold. What a great boat she is. We are sorry to be leaving her so soon but we are lucky to have had five months in Greece and Turkey. Where did the time go?
