Sorry we have been a bit slack with our blog, we have been socialising as well as having some days without internet connection. We have spent most of our time in the Fethiye bay.
In Sasarla bay we caught up with our friends Warren and Carina and their family on their brand-new catamaran, Time to Chill. It was great to share stories about places visited as well as enjoying drinks on the sun deck, some lovely meals and a game or two of cards. On their recommendation we stayed at the Classic Yacht Marina in Fethiye. This marina is associated with a hotel and by staying at the marina you get to use the hotel facilities, including a magnificent pool. Also, if we ate at the hotel restaurant the charge for the marina was half price. We only intended to stay one night, but enjoyed it so much we opted to spoil ourselves for another night.
We spent five nights at Sasarla before heading into Gocek to collect our friend Ian, who was sailing with us for a week. We had a good sail to Karacaoren and back. Karacaoren is a very pretty bay, where you pick up a mooring buoy belonging to a restaurant. The restaurant collected us from SCII and took us ashore. We enjoyed a good meal in a very rustic setting. We have also spent a couple of nights anchored out, just enjoying the water and cooking on board.
Today we are back in Gocek to drop off Ian and to collect other friends Paul and Carrie. We intend to spent our last two weeks on SCII travelling to Kekova and back which is about 50 miles down the coast.
The weather is still in the low to mid 30's. Water temperature is 28 degrees.
Having almost completed the charter yacht catalogue over the last 25 years, we are fulfilling our long term dream of living the endless summer. In April 2017 we purchased our yacht and plan to spend several months every year in the Med.
