Merhaba which is hello in Turkish.
I believe the people walking barefoot in what looks like snow are visiting Pamukkale. http://www.mydoramac.com/ is the link to our visit to Pamukkale.
The hot air balloons are over Cappadocia. http://www.mydoramac.com/ is the link to our visit to Cappadocia
All of this reminds me of the […]

Oct. 20 – Apalachicola, FL
Apalachicola City Wharf
“We who adventure upon the sea, however humbly, cannot but feel that we are more fortunate than ordinary people, for we have something which we cannot tell, nor they understand” -Claud Worth
We’ve been on the move for 12 days straight…the last three have been very long days, so today we slept in, had coffee on the aft deck and only traveled 26 miles. After yesterday we really needed a day to relax. We are docked at the to city wharf in Apalachicola, right in the middle of all the shops, restaurants and shrimp boats. As soon as we docked we walked over to Boss Oyster for lunch. We each had a Poor Boy…the best shrimp and oysters we’ve had in a long time. We spent the afternoon wandering around town looking in the little shops and visiting with people.
Day 283…Contrails
Welcome to day 283 of 365 photos…as I looked skyward at about 8:30 this morning, the sky was covered with contrails. The white trails on the blue sky caught my eye so I grabbed the camera for a photo. Check out that lower left corner. The jets must have been busy this morning. From Wikipedia: “Contrails; […]

Oct. 18-19 – Crossing the Gulf
Dog Island, FL
“A smooth sea never made a skilled mariner.” —English Proverb
To get the Texas Pearl home we have to cut across the Gulf from the Tarpon Springs area to Carrebelle or Apalachicola. We decided to make the crossing in two days since we aren’t as familiar with this boat. We wanted to stay closer to shore, just in case there were any issues. Although we did loose cell serve both days, we were in radio contact the whole way. We pulled out of Dunedin before dawn on Saturday and docked in Steinhatchee just after sunset. It was a beautiful day, sunny and cool, but a little breezy and we felt like we had ridden a bucking horse all day. We docked at River Haven Marina…where we stayed in 2011 on The Pearl.
Cruising to the 63 – A Boating History
My recent discussions with Eugene Wheeler regarding the two yachts that I had worked on as first mate in the summers circa 1958 to 1961 prompted me to search the Internet for boats associated with my early boating career. I had some success and t…
18-20 October 2014 Chattanooga – Goose Creek Marina
We left Chattanooga after visiting for a week although we planned to spend only a few days. Look forward to returning there to see and do more in that fascinating city.
As we leisurely cruise west on our way south, we continue to relish the craggy, yet verdant, rises on the horizon profiled against a cobalt sky.
Saturday, we arrived in Scottsboro, AL, at Goose Pond Marina. Tomorrow, Monday, we’ll continue our migration. Today we hiked 5 ½ miles on trails in Goose Pond Plantation along the shore line, past the immaculate golf course, and through the campground. We often hear friends rave about their visits to this area we we had to investigate it for ourselves. We’ve loved this stop for its hushed solitude and natural vistas.
Today on our hike we enjoyed these little PVC pipe people decked out for this beautiful fall season.
These darling fall figures have no top to their heads. Maybe that’s how thoughts escape.
We thought thought they needed something to keep their thoughts intact so we loaned them our lids that keep us our thoughts and ideas under cover.
This evening we’d like to share our “back yard” with you.
Tomorrow, Monday the 20th, we’ll continue to Florence, AL, intending to arrive Thursday, the 23rd, and spend several days exploring that area.
Happy Fall!
