In this episode of Sailing A B Sea we continue living life after the lock down in Turkey.

We began exploring Turkey by sail boat in March 2021 but we didn't get too far up the coast before a three week lock down in Turkey was announced. After a mad dash back to Kas marina, where we waited out the lock down, we once again set off to explore the Turkish coast in May 2021 and continued our life after the lock down.

all right obviously we have a situation

with our gps positioning

this is land and this is apparently us

the bay that we're actually in at the

moment

is this one here we've decided to bail

on that bay

and go over here to kerajaron gimlet

area

but i gotta figure out on the way over

there why our gps position

is not showing us correctly so i might

have to reboot the systems

[Music]

i'm barry i'm ansha this is the

continuing journey of sailing abc

cast your minds back to late august of

last year

when we had our first patron on board

for a wonderful week

and that of course was michelle well

michelle is back here michelle

hello how's it going my man good and

guess what what the shop was open

oh fantastic so we have cold beer and

vast amounts of wine

that's it good michelle is back here

with his wonderful wife

shannan

[Applause]

and we are going to stay at their place

overnight they've got a big apartment up

on the high hills

overlooking cash and they've got a pool

so that's one thing that we're looking

forward to but uh also it's great

company that's our adventure

yes for today

salad booze swimming gear

i'm set we just had a wonderful

p-day lunch that we ordered in

now it is time to go and enjoy some

sunshine

out of the pool

how's it going kev

not too bad

somebody has to do this

look at the little piggy balls this is

the boar family that lives around here

let's see if i can get down and get

closer without scaring them all

wow so many piglets

[Music]

i wouldn't want to be sailing north

today

we're getting gusts of about 35 knots

to 40 possibly later on

carceral is making its way closer to the

continent so you know it's easy to get

on and off at the moment let's have a

look to see what the water's like at the

end of the pontoon

so you kind of miss most of the action

but uh they're trying to secure this

catamaran

at the moment it's only held on with one

thin line they're trying to double it

cool so these guys are doing an awesome

job

he's asleep he was awake chatting and

drinking last night

[Music]

and this morning it's as calm as

anything you'd never know that we'd had

really big winds last night

it's lovely sun's shining it's really

warm

definitely a good summer's day

[Music]

[Applause]

oh there's even someone swimming look

[Music]

some of you might not know what this is

it's a mangle or a hand

wringer for clothes i got this in

december

2019 when we were in greece on the hard

and it's taken up until now which is the

middle of may 2021

to actually get it so that it we can fit

it on

here and i can use it it's been a bit of

a process

first of all we tried to mount it just

on the rail but

it swung around and i couldn't get

anything done

then we decided that when we came back

to turkey

we would have a mounting block made and

we could mount the

mangle onto the mounting block but

you'll remember that this

last year has been all about fixing

major things on the boat

so the mangle has taken a really back

step

so as i said here we are in the middle

of may 2021

we've had this made that wasn't an easy

process but

it's done and so i'm going to have a go

and see if now it's mounted if it works

properly

and here are some i prepared earlier

so excited

oh my god two years in the making and

it's working

of course i don't really need it while

i'm in the marina because it's the

laundry

where are there we are

yeah it's monday uh it's around about 10

o'clock in the morning

we've prepped the boat we've

disconnected from shaw power

and we're just about to go to the fuel

dock to fill up our tank because it is a

wednesday so therefore we'll be using

the iron sail

we're heading north we're hoping to get

as far north as cheshire

but who knows where we might get to and

what we might see along the way

we're not going to chechmate today no no

not today

no today is six hours up to butterfly

valley and this time around we've got a

new buddy boat it's barbara ann with our

mate kev

right let's get this iron engine fired

up fueled up

fueled up and off we

go yeah

when do you want me to drop the slime

line actually

i'm going to hold this line

as soon as that slide line's clear

yeah might as well

me okay

yes

can you come and do my life for me

please

just give it to me

doesn't need to go back

so i'll tie on to the last big one

yeah just yeah just

that one there will do

[Music]

is

it was the longest time sitting at the

fuel dock but it actually gave us some

time to put the dingy up

kind of worked out well yeah so

so we've topped up with 146.2 liters

so when we came in we still had a

quarter of a tank left which was quite

good so we had

quite a big margin of error um

which yeah is good to know uh for future

reference if ever we

have to make a big run and we don't want

to refuel

so happy about it six hours

give or take yeah we'll be there there's

our sailing buddy kev

in barbara anne

[Music]

[Music]

so

once again we are sailing past patara

beach

here at a big important beach for

nesting turtles

and when you're actually on the beach

looking

you know out towards the water it very

much reminds us of

a queensland beach an australian beach

because it's just so big

and long and sandy as we look

further up the coast from patara beach

we can see a headland up ahead

looks quite near but it's actually going

to take us two hours

just to get to that headland and then

another hour and a half two hours

around there to where we want to go

which is of course butterfly valley

god give me me all sorts of in

this world

some idiot was sailing he had both his

sails out

he was over on our starboard side doing

his own thing

and then he he does he comes across our

bow which is fine because he has right

of way

so we steer to go around his

stern and then the next thing we know

there's this

i'm i'm looking and i'm going what's

that a little yellow filament and i'm

going

to cut off our sail there's a fishing

line

out the back and he's crossed across our

bow with this fishing line after that

so we did a sharp well more than 90

degree turn

and it snapped across our um

sail because we've got the head sail out

but it went right over our birmingham

i got the knife i was going to cut it

but it had gone too far across the

bimini next thing you know

it had caught on our antenna luckily baz

managed to push the antenna down and it

flipped up but what a stupid

stupid

[Applause]

so if you're ever sailing and you are

trailing

a fishing line don't cut across

somebody's bow

meanwhile we've got our buddy boat

caref behind us and hopefully he hasn't

had the same issue because even if it

hadn't been flying in the air

i don't even know how it was flying in

the air um

it could have caught up in our props i

mean seriously

[Applause]

[Music]

we've got the head sail out it's

flogging a bit because we've only got

about

7.5 knots of wind but it is actually

giving us about

half a knot of extra speed over ground

so that's good

[Music]

[Applause]

we are about 45 minutes out from our

destination our butterfly valley

we don't know how busy it's going to be

when we get there

it is a very popular place for

daytrooper boats and gullets

um we also don't know whether this swell

is going to affect

that particular anchorage we don't know

whether we can actually anchor or

whether we've got to take a line ashore

we don't know whether there's a

restaurant jetty that we can tie up to

if we do decide to stay there there's a

lot of don't knows about this

it's all about eyeballs when we actually

get there our bailout plan of course is

to go over to the carrijara and gemla

area

where we know we can get protection from

the swell we can also

swing freely if we want to or we can

take a lion ashore to gimla island

itself

so we'll find out in about 45 minutes

talking about line ashore here's our

line of shore person now

already in the line of shore uniform

[Applause]

first mates job captain this is the

entrance to butterfly bay

it's actually beautiful but the swell is

way too much for us

tonight but we're just checking it out

for when we do come back

when the conditions are better put

something out of journey to the center

of the earth

beautiful

so you have to get really close to the

shore

to be able to drop your hook if you've

only got 50

meters of chain like we have

yes he's tied back to some rocks there

so next stop either

gemella or carajarra

all right obviously we have a situation

with our gps positioning

this is land and this is apparently us

the bay that we're actually in at the

moment

is this one here uh we've decided to

bail on that bay

and go over here to carrageeran gimlet

area

but i've got to figure out on the way

over there why our gps position

is not showing us correctly so i might

have to reboot the systems

okay so i just switched all of the

instruments off

uh waited for 30 seconds and then

powered up the system

the gps is now showing us

probably where we are i'm not quite sure

and i won't know until

i get into close quarters in carriage

aaron to confirm

but uh it's certainly better than it was

we're no longer on land

[Applause]

okay 45 minutes to carry our gambler

area from here

and we'll decide exactly what we're

going to do on the way over there

it's great to be back here again

it's just such a beautiful day and it's

so easy to

moor here because jana takes the line

and

feeds it around and you just tie it onto

the other cleat on the other side it's

easy it's great

and then tonight we'll just give him a

little ahoy and he'll come and

pick us up i've got one quick question

for you guys and girls

i want you to let me know in the

comments down below which

are the youtube sailing channels that

you watch and what is it about their

presentation style

that really attracts you and also just

before we do go

i gotta say hello and welcome aboard to

terry ball

who is our newest patron welcome aboard

joining our patron family
