Hello from Greece

Yassas,
   Our day started with the alarm clock set for 5 am.  It is now 9:21 pm and I’m pooped.  We left Netsel Marina at 8:10 am and arrived at the official customs/immigration dock at 8:30 am.  There was a bit of confusion…

Tuesday afternoon in Marmaris

Merhaba,
  Wednesday’s weather isn’t cooperating, but Thursday and Friday will be just fine so we’re postponing our departure one day.  While we travel I’ll be at the mercy of many different wifi sources.  I’ll try to keep ever…

One last stroll through Old Town Marmaris 2013

  This is probably the final time I’ll type that address; at least for 2013.  Yesterday morning we “sea tested” DoraMac and everything was mostly fine.  Our ICOM radio may, or may not send sailmail, but that’s a convenience issue…

Marmaris at night with Deena and TK

Merhaba,
   It’s Memorial Day Weekend in the US. We just celebrated ANZAC day here where both Turkish and Australian soldiers lost their lives.  Many of the enemies of the first two world wars are now allies.  Interesting to think…

Yellow Building I always loved…

Merhaba,
   Today Randal biked over to the Post Office and there was the book he’d ordered from England.  So now nothing is holding us in Marmaris.  We will take the boat for a test spin on Sunday and then check out either Monday …

Cruising Schedule

Merhaba,
  We’re still here, but we do have a tentative plan.  It’s attached as an Excel file.  I’ve started to research Sicily and Sardinia as we’re pretty positive about those places.  Our friends Ed and Sue are in Tunisia…

Model Ship Exhibit at the Culture and Art Center

Merhaba,
   Yesterday morning I walked to the Arts and Culture Center.    An exhibit of model ships was in the process of being installed.  Randal was excited about seeing it (and needed a break from his boat chores) so th…

Seen from a window, a scene screaming for a script.

Merhaba
   We’re still here.  Randal is off on his umpteenth trip to chandlery street.  Most big stuff is done, but he still has a list.  We’re also still finalizing our tentative route to England.  I’m almost certai…

Merhaba,

A quick trip through Kastamonu on our way to Safronbolu

Merhaba,
   This was going to be a quick email; we spent less than 2 hours in Kastamonu, so how much can you write?  But as I read, I had questions, so then I read more and had more questions.  It was a long day’s drive from Sinop…
