A wonderful day of 3 parts. Part 1: Leaving the multihull centre and tying up for breakfast on a mooring buoy. Part 2: Cat close quarters handling practice in the buoys. Paul was very patient teaching us on his new, high performance yacht to give us some crucial lessons before a charter trip in Croatia. Very windy conditions - challenging! Part 3: Flying around Plymouth outside the breakwater. 13kts SOG and a visit from a RIB to inform us there was a submarine below us! Great day, great conditions. Thanks Paul and Mike for making it possible ❤️.

We left our favorite bay (so far), right after a nice breakfast, to reach a small island down south, passed Fethiye. The weather and the wind being really nice, we sailed for 5 hours. Reaching 8 or 9 knots speed with the waves pushing us (I can’t remember if we were motoring, were we?) The island was beautiful, ancient ruins and goats 🐐. Enjoyed some nice homemade spicy Gin cocktails on the boat 🌶️ And had a lovely dinner: red beans-olive oil and garlic (Cesar’s recipe). Pro tip: don’t forget the sunscreen! 🫠

Amazing day in a new bay, saw some old ruins called “Cleopatra baths”, really old stone buildings in the water. Then sailed in the bay, heading to our bay for the night. Still a lot of wasps from 6:30 to 8:30, surviving, even though Thom got stung in the back. We tried creating a trap for them, seems to be working. Dinner tonight is pasta with tomato & veggies sauce (but don’t tell Gaia there is chicken in it too… or she will send the mafia!)

the crew woke up early to sail into the sunrise, but I couldn't. TG kept nagging about leaving early, BLA BLA BLA, but I had to take a stand!!! 🤣🤣 loved every moment of today, plenty of laughs... amazing waking up when the coffee is already prepared... we enjoyed motoring, sailing, time together... and the smoothest and most beautiful docking by Audrey... #impressed happiness all around. ❤️❤️ Happy birthday Koya 🎂🎂

Marina was hot and stuffy. 8 minutes was way too far to walk to get in the sea, so back to bay 😁

Amazing day, along the river to see the ruins, turtles, and visit Dalyan. Filled up the water tanks and went back to a bay with no network for the night. Better than the Marina ⛵️👌🏼

No too much wind about Sunday / Monday so we decided to do a long motor north to explore a new area. For no wind Monday we have organised a tour to see some ruins, baths temples and a church. This was a really nice day of motoring, music and chatting for 5 hours. Then we found a beautiful spot to long line for the night 😍. Felt very remote with the cliffs coming down to the sea 🌲🌊. Koya cooked an amazing Thai curry and we had a lazy afternoon of swimming 😍😍😍. So good for the soul.

Eos yacht charter was perfect. Made everything so easy. Quick and easy check in, groceries delivered to the boat and off! Got some sailing in straight away. There were claims of dolphins but I missed them 🤔🤔🤔. Now on a mooring buoy after a lovely meal ☺️. Very cool hostel vibes restaurant. Lamb chops were tasty, bread and dips amazing but most of all catching up with friends. After a year or two not seeing each other it’s just like we were on a boat together yesterday 🥰.

Fast trip back, with a surprise stop to see Lou from Nomad 😊 💙
