We are arriving in Turkey and it's just pretty it's really pretty. The
architecture is so different to the Greek architecture that we've just left.
Well here we are in Turkey it's Friday the 12th of October
we're in Bozburun, a little sort of harbour kind of marina-ish. It's beautiful
its charming it's absolutely gorgeous. Yeah. We're just about to have a stroll
around the town there's I don't know really what to ... words escaping me at the
moment because it's just all so different
yeah last we got here yesterday afternoon about 2:30-3 o'clock something
like that, checked in, got all our visa and paperwork sorted out easily very
easily using the agent that Mike knows It was 215 euros for the pair of us to
be have our paperwork administered by the agent and that included the Turkish
visa that we needed as well We're travelling on British passports
and we needed a Turkish visa so that all got handled by him and that visa gives
us three months stay in Turkey. We may or may not extend that we haven't made any
secure plans yet really our plan up until this point has been to get to here really
Yeah. So this this is a great little place easy to do stern to mooring here
it's only three metres deep in the middle of this harbour and
yeah it's it's very nice so we're gonna have a wander around town and take a
look at things. Yeah just do it
Just opposite where we are berthed here in Turkey is Osman's Place the
restaurant and we're eating here and drinking here on a daily basis. The cost
is very inexpensive compared to most of the European countries in fact we're
just about to go and have a full English breakfast and I'll have a liter of fizzy
water and Aannsha will have an Earl Grey tea because that's her requirement in
the morning. It will cost us 14 Australian dollars for both of us
to eat that and wait till you see the what the breakfast looks like. So we did say
we'd show you the breakfast mine's a full English and Aannsha's is a Turkish
And Osman's Place understanding the finesse of the English breakfast, does of
course have
HP sauce. If you do come here on the boat they've also got showers lovely hot
clean showers in there and yeah so it's great.
Tomorrow we leave here and take a
very short three-hour trip just slightly south and around the peninsula and so we
got the fuel guy here with his little truck and we're fueling up both boats so
Phil's getting his done first and he's estimated that he needs a hundred litres
we did a lot more sailing the motoring this time around so I'm estimating I
need 60 litres. It's a little game we play to see who's estimating their fuel correctly
[Phil] 122 mine
Okay. So that was two hundred and forty seven lira for fifty five
liters of diesel off the top of my head I couldn't tell you what that is but
I'll put the stuff on the bottom of the video here converting it to Australian
dollars. Now I need to go and find somewhere where I can exchange more
euros for Turkish lira. Today is Sunday and we are leaving
Bozburun in Turkey and taking a very short trip just three hours down the
road to another little place but we're going to be tying up there stern to with
the added luxury of lazy lines ... that's going to be a bonus so I just got to get
the anchor up, Aannsha's going to take us out of here and it'll be a nice motor
there today because there's absolutely no wind at all of course it will be nice
and flat which means we can put our Gory folding prop in to use in
overdrive and get that fuel saving which is always good so yeah this has been a
great place we've loved it here been a great introduction to Turkey and now
we're going to explore a bit more.
Bye! Have a nice time! See you soon!
Look like otters. Yeah Did you get them? No too far away
We are about 25 minutes away from our destination, this camera won't pick it up
too well but just over here this headland and on top of the headland you
might be able to pick out some fortifications war fortifications. It's a
castle and it's better viewed from the other side where we're going to be
stopping and we're going to get the drone out and we're gonna fly the drone
but yeah quite excited about getting to this place and I think I mentioned that
tonight we are going stern to but they have lazy lines so that will make life a
heck of a lot easier looking forward to it
stop stop stop
stop it dead Barry
We've got a Gory folding prop which means on long runs you can actually put
it into overdrive and save diesel or go faster. To get it into overdrive you
basically put it into reverse and when you've got way over the prop then you
put it through neutral and into forward the problem is is when Barry is going
stern to and this puts the engine from reverse to forward to slow it down or
stop the boat the Gory prop goes into overdrive
it's kind of a bit of an issue anyway so I'm sure we'll be able to find a way
around that that works for us.
It's pretty special up here great views and imagine on a windy day you might get
blown away. Don't know when this place was built but just coming up here and
looking at it must have been a big structure when it was complete. I wonder how many
soldiers were housed here and for how long they had to stay on guard.
I'm going to the toilet and the boat is behind me I walked up the hill through the
restaurant and the toilet's up the hill just behind me.
It's gotta go in my star toilets this hasn't it Look at the view
You going to leave the door open? No
Since we and our buddy boat arrived four more boats have pulled in luckily we got
in first because well we only we obviously got a nice spot but we also
managed to order five lots of lamb for dinner so that's what's on the menu
tonight. Looking forward to that
Oh that lamb's gorgeous . It is. So tender.
There's no dogs or cats on this island. Because they don't own a boat! They don't own a boat!
You'd think there'd be one though, the token one. A token catt and a token dog.
And what happens when they die? Get a new one?
If people come back next year, "what happened to Frank the cat?" "Oh died." He changed colour look
He used to be grey, and he's now white. Been in the sun too long!
Stand by
Alright drop it
All clear. Clear? Yep
Join us next week on board A B Sea as we sail to Ciftlik and finally get to
understand why the guys on the jetties are waving different colored flags at us!
