Pretty good conditions, not too
Much wind up Chios channel so had a ok passage. Bad sea state up near Kaburun leading in Izmir channel very rough. Sailed at start and end of day nicely. Stopped by a smaller Coast Guard boat in Izmir channel, checked all papers then on their way. At Oasis Marina was asked by Coast guard to provide boats docs again! Tired but good day.

Siafu

Long day starting in the dark with magic screecher sailing conditions towards Samos straight, we really flew along for several hours then motored thereafter. No real issues except at midday we were stopped by a huge Turkish coast guard cutter 100+ ft in length. They called on radio but was in Turkish so I couldn’t understand. They tried several times to come alongside and for us to tie up with them but unsuccessful. After they bent Siafus stanchions we got upset then they told us to report in when we get to Oasis Marina. We faffed around with them for at least an hour. Anchored back in bitey fly bay all good. Peaceful night.

Good day, nothing untoward and winds not really favourable, sailed a bit, motored a lot!

Great run from north of Symi to half way to Knidos. Morning heading north was under motor as was the afternoon heading as wind came on the nose. 

Back again to one of our favourite anchorages. Drifted a bit during the day, motored and then sailed then motored. 

Very peaceful day :)

Spent 3 nights at anchor here. Great location bought local honey and flat bread off Ali Barbour  a local who cruises around in his boat offering supplies to the anchorage. 
Interesting to see people using fish traps I assume for the mullet.

Spent two days in marina, sorting boat. Nice to feet out sailing again heading east up the gulf to a lovely anchorage. A bit of wind and motoring and will stay here for a few days.

Good sandy anchoring area in a wide bay, nice protection!

Stayed in marina, caught up on work, went for a walk, all very pleasant and windy.

Short motor to marina for 2 nights and drop off crew so they can get ferry to Bodrum and flight back to UK. 
Marina very nice and easy and pulled up on wall near entrance by coastguard. Very windy place in the low saddle where the wind rips through from the gulf to Datca on the southern side. 

Set off at around 0800 and wind was stronger than forecast but expect increased wind speeds near Kos and Bodrum peninsula as the wind is squeezed through south. 
Had screecher up and we flew along in 2 hours to lovely anchorage on Datca peninsula, one of our favourites.

Kids went for a walk up into the gorge then Will  went swimming and had to pick him up in the boat as we lost sight of him and winds and chop had picked up. Bianca a little nervous!!!

Nice night and clear water.
