In this episode of Sailing A B Sea, what we thought was going to be a quick trip to the next bay over, turned into a search for the Goldilocks anchorage. We take many factors into consideration when deciding where to drop our anchor for the night and in this episode it takes us a long time to find the Goldilocks anchorage.

well we're anchored we did go further

into

the little sort of like inner bay but i

wasn't really happy

with the the depths thing is it's wide

open

wide open wait and see grace from here

that's how wide open we are

as long as the wind does as forecasted

then we should be okay in here there

shouldn't be

a lot of fetch coming through at all

hopefully it won't get rolly

[Music]

i've just brought the snubber part way

up so that i can take it off the chain

and there's actual chain wrapped around

it that's a sign of how bouncy it was

and also we have this as a shave

protector which usually does the job but

look at this

this posing

[Music]

you need more speed

[Music]

all right we're heading out

we'll see you there jimmy see you later

[Music]

11

we've noticed that as we travel along

the turkish coast

there's a lot of construction going on

we're not sure if that's for the tourist

industry

or whether that's for locals but there's

a lot of buildings

going up there and this isn't an

isolated site

either it's very hazy today so

this camera might not pick up too much

of what we can see

but all along our starboard side we have

fish farms in the distance it's a bit

chilly today there's not a lot of wind

just about keeping the flags up

and it's on the nose of course

[Applause]

but it's got a bit of a wind chill

factor

and because there's all this cloud cover

um it's yeah it's a bit chilly when the

sun peeks out through the clouds

you can feel the warmth but we've both

got extra layers on

but considering we had such high winds

the last

couple of days it's so clear and

glassy

[Applause]

how's it going captain all going good

probably about 45 minutes away from our

next

stop it's a very short cop today

basically just repositioning so to speak

we're looking at going in here

and this is what it looks like

on the ground so we're going around

there

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

just

[Applause]

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

poke our nose in have a look see see if

there's any room if there isn't

bay number two well that's got a fish

farm there well it says it happens

a lot of them have actually moved the

fish farms

out from the base and further into the

sea

yeah the farms are causing too much

pollution in the water yeah

that's one of the boats going to the

fish farm

there's a lot of debris in the water

since the winds that we had

doesn't surprise me because that would

have picked up every little loose bit of

garbage that there was

[Music]

anyway unfortunately a lot of it's

landed in the sea

if we don't like what we see there there

is an alternative

anchorage in here which is also not

exposed to any swell

um it doesn't look quite as

large and seem to be quite a few fishing

boats in there already

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

no i'm not happy

[Music]

[Music]

so we're dropping in five and a half

meters so go to 30.

all right let it settle

[Music]

stop it

well we're anchored we did go further

into the

little sort of like inner bay but i

wasn't really happy with the

the depths we could have anchored right

in the middle the depth was okay for

anchor right in the middle but

allowing enough swingage for the depth

meant that was that was

possible we were going to go into

shallow water and i didn't want to just

do that

when we were swinging plus the fact all

of the service boats for

these fish farms are going there so

they're quite big vessels

and you can see big boys where they tie

up and i didn't want to be

swinging into their sort of area of

maneuver

maneuvering there were lots of little

boats as well weren't they coming in and

out

yeah there is a little um looks like a

little um town harbor

thing jetty thing in there and they've

got pedestals for electricity and water

so i'm assuming that if you want to pay

you can go and stay on that but of

course we like the anchor

because we've already paid for that and

so we've come out to this bay here

thing is it's wide open

wide open but as long as the forecasts

are good

wait and see grace from here that's how

wide open we are probably

um as long as the wind does as

forecasted

uh then we should be okay in here there

shouldn't be a lot of fetch

coming through at all um hopefully it

won't get rolly

it's just for one night gives us a

chance to stop and edit because we need

to do that so that we can get the

video uploaded for our patreons on

tuesday have you noticed

have you noticed this seems to be a

recurring theme we've got to stop we've

got to finish the edit

ready to go out yeah i don't know much

quack quack must try and get more

organized

i don't know i think we are organised

it's a sailor's life

it is a traveler's life a traveler's

life yeah

so we're here let's put this boat to bed

yeah and then we'll make lunch

oh yeah i'm hungry yeah time arrival 13

35

thank you i'll do the ship's vlog man

thank you well we've literally been here

for

10 minutes maybe and i just

think we are too exposed here the wind

is blowing when it says

it shouldn't be blowing uh

it's just too exposed if the wind picks

up we've got too much

exposure and too much fetch will come in

and it'll be very uncomfortable so i

think

well i know that we're going to move

we're going to go seven miles

around the corner to a more protected

anchorage

yeah just not happy here not happy jan

oh we've been everywhere man and now

we're on our way to asin koyu

and to do that we're passing a few

tankers

he's one

and there's another one

on our starboard side there's a fairly

large

town over there

[Music]

unlock it

so we're in five meters

five hours later we are now anchored in

asincoyu which is at the

head of a very very big bay we wanted to

come here

at some point because there are some

ruins that we want to go and inspect

um we just didn't expect to be here

today

or quite so late no but we did

turtle around looking at several other

options that turned out not to be viable

due to their size and the uh the dodgy

depths and yeah yeah so we just arrived

here as well

and discovered that the internet package

that we've got

is done it's over it's run out

so now we've got to try and find some

place somewhere

where we can renew our internet data

package yeah

so so dear patrons you may not receive

your

early video on your usual tuesday you

may get it wednesday this week

maybe i'm so i and honestly i've still

got such a lot to edit

and now it's nearly five and i'm

knackered so i don't know how much of

that will

get finished so if you want to blame

anyone blame me

all right so we're gonna go below yeah

put the boat back into

working mode and uh see what we get you

can have a cup of tea now can't you god

you're

gagging for one

[Music]

over my shoulder you might just be able

to make her answer working

feverishly away at the keyboard editing

together
