Final dinner together at Özcan.

Tied up in a cozy corner of the bay at a restaurant with the same name. As usual, our hosts were amazing, and we grabbed breakfast as well. Before dinner, afternoon of swimming and visiting with each other.

Kalkan marina is quite small and did not have room for our four boats. Instead, we anchored as recommended by the cruise guide in the northwest corner of the bay - absolutely beautiful. This is the one night we are aboard.

Tied up alongside at a restaurant pier, (one of several), which basically only fit our four boats. Mehmet and his mother at Likya Restaurant helped us tie up and then made dinner, then breakfast in the morning. This place is special for its ruins, including the castle at the top of the hill. Caner and I also had a Turkish coffee high on the hill with a beautiful view.

Drone casualty in the bay. Great showers and provisioning at Kaş Marina. Old Kaş is charming; could’ve spent more time there. Everyone split up, but many wound up eating at the same restaurant - Sempati for the Alper family’s Turkish recipes. Highlight was the Ottoman Sultan Special.

Quick stop for swim; pulled out as we were to close to boat next to us. Cold Water Bay was absolutely beautiful. Ali assisted us with dropping anchor and tying stern to a rock. Dinner at his restaurant up the hill. He also ferried us each way.
