In this episode of Sailing A B Sea we finally arrive in Turkey to discover that it's way more than we expected. After crossing the Mediterranean Sea from wes...

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!
