In this episode of Sailing A B Sea we enjoy a typical day sailing the Turkish coast. On this particular typical day sailing the Turkish coast we travel from Datca town quay to Akcali bay and we're pleasantly surprised how good the anchorage is. #SailingABSea For your convenience, we’ve included Amazon links.

this is dacha south harbour we're going

to

reconfigure our lines because we're

planning on leaving here at seven

o'clock in the morning

so we want them just prepped and ready

to go so we can start the engine

slip the lines pull the anchor up and go

[Music]

[Music]

they're both playing together yeah are

you ready

[Music]

she's up she's playing

[Applause]

[Music]

an 8 30 am departure from thatcher and

can't remember the name of the next

place it's on the screen right now we

expect it to take about

six hours probably less what we're

basically doing is we're going around

the corner here and over to the other

side of this peninsula and we'll be

anchoring up in a small anchorage over

there because

when the wind does fill in there's no

wind right now but when the wind does

fill

in it will fill in from that direction

and blow in that direction

so the anchorage we'll go into will be

protected from the wind

windy reckons that we're going to get

about

12 knots today if that is the case once

we turn this corner and it fills in

we can get some sail out but if windy is

wrong

and we don't get anything we're using

the iron sail again

beautiful day it's about um 20 degrees

right now which is nice

very comfortable sun is shining

just a little bit of a hazy sky

gonna be a chill day we just turned

right

here

[Applause]

[Music]

sea state is so much calmer than it has

been the last few days when that really

big wind was blowing

it's actually quite mild today i haven't

even got a jacket on

just a jumper and it wasn't even

mentioned

doing posh thing by rolling up the

sleeves

done it today

not a lot of wind well actually no wind

even though we're motoring forwards

so we're using the engine today

[Music]

that is the greek island of tilos so

close and yet so far

that is the greek island of niseros

and we're coming up to nados an

anchorage that we visited last time we

were here

that's actually the site of an ancient

[Applause]

port

love the color in the rocks here cream

with a rich

deep ready sand color

we're just rounding the tip of the

promontory

at nidos and that's a

very distinctive lighthouse

[Applause]

so this little bay on the north side of

nidos

also has the remains of an ancient

[Music]

harbour

and that big island over there is the

greek island of coss

tonight's anchorage is just around this

tip here

in there

[Music]

and hopefully this swell doesn't reach

into the bay

it's quite bouncy

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

so we're here um

[Applause]

i'm all ready to go

looks like we got a mix of satin weed

i think it's mostly sand though

yeah just let me know when we're over

that over that weed

pass that weed

all right then

drop it and go to 30.

okay

let's love it

please

two six two two

let's switch that fan off

thank you act jelly that's where we are

at jelly bay

actually actually

yeah so um this is

on navally this is like an orange or

yellow

sticker and nobody's left any comments

but to be honest with you

i can't see why this is not uh

an approved sort of thumbs up kind of

anchorage

it's a huge bet it looks small on the

chart but it's actually massive in

reality

and there are quite large shallow areas

to anchoring you know four five six

meters which is

pretty good it's mostly sand with some

weed but

mostly sand so it's not difficult to

find a sandy patch to drop your anchor

swinging free here is great protection

from the way the wind is at the moment

is good

yeah west all the way south

to the east yeah we're expecting wind

from

from that direction which will blow us

offshore anyway

but really we're in we're in uh four

five and a half meters aboard water

with uh 30 meters of chain out so to me

that's good enough at

six to one yeah in sand yeah we're here

yeah this is and it's got a fabulous

view of the mountains behind

which you probably can't see now because

we've swung around a bit there's nothing

on shore

no so people who who want to get off and

you know do bars or shops or something

this is not for you

if they go around to the other bay

around the corner but um

for us for an overnight anchorage well

protected from

any wind that's predicted and

peace and quiet quiet house yeah that's

lovely so

um not even goat bells took us which i

like

four and a half hours to get here from

dutcher exactly not too bad

no we did motor all the way the wind

that was

promised never eventuated so

hopefully the wind that they're

promising for tomorrow is is coming in

because that'll sail us right across the

bay here

in the direction of bodrum uh when we

can see that

we take a a left and and head up

uh past gamoche look and around to the

other side of that bay

to anchor uh for tomorrow night

protected again

from the predicted wind yeah plus you've

also seen gamuche

because we did that last time we were

here yeah so we want to bring you lots

of new

bays it's just another place that you

think well

you know why is why has nobody done

anything on the shore i mean the

shoreline is littered with plastic and

you know debris from storms and

waves and wind that wash stuff up

there's a couple of fisherman's boats

there's a couple of what looked like

turkish holiday

homes but the mountains come all the way

down

to sort of hills and then to the bay so

it's lovely so i mean it would be a

great place if you like hiking

yeah to just dingy over and then take a

walk

take a walk it's beautiful yeah and the

sun's shining and it's nice and mild

yeah smells good

right lunch lunch

okay lunch actually lunch actually

uh angeli

as you can plainly tell from the

background we are no longer at anchor we

are back

in the marina cash marina in particular

and the reason we've come back here

is because of covid restriction

lockdowns but more about that later
