... Hello Marti Marina, Hotel & YC
20 August 2014 | 36 45.3'N:28 08.3'E
HOT with a few afternoon breezes
20 August 2014 – 1300: Those of you who follow our SPOT footsteps know that this marina is on the northern side of the peninsula that Bozburun is on (Marmaris is 25 KM away). So, from Bozburun, we motored (of course – it’s the Med) SW, turned right, went around the peninsula's end and then motored NE into the quiet & idyllic Gulf of Hisaronu. The local area is known for the legend of Hemithea:
According to one version in Greek mythology: Hemithea and sister Parthenos were put in charge of watching after their father's wine but fell asleep while performing this duty. When they awakened and saw that the wine had been tipped over, they threw themselves off a cliff in fear of their father's wrath. Apollo, who was in love with another sister Rhoeo, would not let her sisters die and carried them off to two different cities where both received divine honors. Hemithea was so named because she was believed to heal people in their sleep… [Wikipedia]
The marina, in service since 1996, is nicely appointed [complete with the healing Hemithea Spa] and seems to be populated mostly by weekend sailors and one charter boat company. We did see the boat owned by the Turkish friends we met years ago when we were together in the same yard in Deltaville, VA... sadly they have commitments which keep them in Istanbul during the time we are here.
So, currently, we are relaxing in Marti Marina’s peaceful setting, not worrying too much about the dinghy’s outboard – yet - but have fingers crossed that all it needs is “new” gas as that was the solution to a similar problem we experienced a couple of years ago.

After two years of being on the hard in Jolly Harbor Marina, we returned to TwoLoose at the end of Dec 2018 to put her back together again. It took us about two months to do all the things required to make her habitable as well as operational. Clearly she did not like being left untended for that long!

We flew to Cancun, MX to join Peter's eldest daughter (Cindi) and her family for an Island Christmas before we flew off to Antigua to rejoin the boat after a 2 year absence. Cindi's husband, Arturo, son Andres (22) and daughter Amaya (18) and their collection of animals (1 horse, 2 cats, 3 dogs and only one male amongst them!) all made us feel quite welcome. It had been TOO long since seeing them.

After 21 days (including Christmas & NYE) at sea S/V TwoLoose with Captain Pete, Crew Bob “Hokie” Baran and Crew Annette arrived Jolly Harbor, Antigua. The crossing from Pasito Blanco, Grand Canary was basically uneventful. We used the jib the entire transit - never put up the main and motored only a few days in the beginning as we escaped the wind shadow created by the Canary Islands. Winds & seas were predominantly from the NE (as predicted); on our starboard quarter creating the somewhat unnerving “washing machine/corkscrewing” effect on boat & crew. Only serious impact was on Captain Pete who injured his back while refueling immediately before our departure. Thank goodness Bob had brought a back brace which Pete used to improve his mobility greatly!

TL's maintenance period started later than we would have preferred - for many reasons - none of which truly matter in the end. We're in it now and we will get the most of it even if we drift into warmer temps and delay the start of this season's cruising season.

We stayed here only long enough to 1) check-in and out of Symi Is. and 2) check-out of Greece. However, we liked it well enough to know we'd like to return!

After another rocky ride, we arrived 23 Sep in the beautiful town of Corfu on the island by the same name. Aside from the intriguing mix of architecture brought by former occupiers, the locals are very friendly and despite economic conditions seem to make the most of their situation.

To use the overused description: Awesome! Venice has not only the usual Italian charm & intriguing history, it is unique in it's watery ways and amazing feats of engineering! Like Rome there just isn't enough time to take it all in.
