In this episode of Sailing A B Sea we let go of the mooring ball at Karacaören and move to Gemiler. Should we take a line ashore or anchor?

here we are in carragher and restaurants

and this is not the barbecue pit

this is the remnants of the barbecue pit

and this

ingenious little contraption is too

[Music]

i'm barry i'm ann sher this is the

continuing journey of sailing abc

it's taxi time and there is jam

and there's anchor it's a great service

it is a good service

yep that's definitely your steak burning

not mine no

no

ah what you say bye

[Music]

come aboard kevlar your taxiways

i just love this place it's just

such an eclectic fabulous

place

some wood fire

look at all the veggies

not too far to come for dinner it's a

trip home that kills you

looks like a full moon rising above the

mountains there

and this mountain here turkish flag on

the top of the pale

section just to the left of that there's

a little flat section on the top

and that's where the paragliders jump

off the mountain

in fact there's one just above the

mountain right now

doing a last minute fly or glide

hello buzz what brings you to an exotic

place like this

hunger the sun sets the moon rises

and here we are we've just devoured our

um

starters message and then bread and

salad and chips

i've been served up my meatballs and

meatballs

and um kevin and about to get chops

smells smells good too right chaps

vegetarians chocks away no vegetarians

allowed

that's what you get none of that does

anybody want wine

well i've got the wine yeah here we are

in carrijara and restaurants and

um this is not the barbecue pit this is

the

remnants of the barbecue pit and this

ingenious little contraption is to

keep the mozzies at bay and it works

smells good because the wood smells

great when it's burning

and it fills the place full of smoke and

all the mozzies

disappear they've gone because they were

all around

like it was just when we were doing this

and we had to ask for this

and then they came with that and all the

mozzies have gone organs

we might say that on the boat later yeah

it's brilliant it works

[Music]

whoops

all right we'll see you tomorrow take it

easy

[Music]

so what does morning look like on board

abc

from the perspective of the pillow in

the princess suite

[Music]

breakfast over and done with loot break

at the restaurant over and done with and

now kevin and i

are going out scouting to see just how

much room there is

at the gemler line ashore anchorage

might as well check that out and she's

still on board abc

she's editing the next video or putting

the final touches to the next video

so we're gonna have a boys day out

are we kev i hope so

[Music]

all right

[Applause]

i just want to have a look at what uh

sort of depth we've gotten

see that's going to be familiar yeah

yeah yeah you've got to get it just

right um yeah

and it look how deep how swiftly it goes

down deep

looks like we're going to be grabbing

all the rocks as well instead of sand

yeah it's daunting

i guess you just have to choose your

spot wouldn't you

this is deep enough um i do believe

that um there's a punch

i'll show you when we get on i've got

further to show you

and we can just ding it over here

morning it's wednesday we are at

carriage aaron at the moment we've

just been round to uh gamla bay

up in the dinghy and there's nobody

there

free swinging on anchor which is what

we've had a chat with kev with and

that's what our plan is yeah so we're

just gonna head around there yeah we're

gonna

get off the boy here took the rounds

drop anchor and then i'll go over

to kev's boat and help drop his anchor

because he's a solo sailor

he is let's do what we need to do

i do need electronics

yeah i've not had a coffee yet that's

how early it is

right i'll go and i've got the pointy

engine in my phone

yeah ready when you are

um

[Music]

we received an email the other day from

oh

forget your name a guy who's just bought

himself a gory folding prop in his sis

he's very happy with it

and just following on from what uh we

discussed about the gory folding prop

about two or three videos back we are

currently

in overdrive with the prop and uh i'll

show you the revs

and i'll show you our speed over ground

so that's 1800 reps

and our current speed over ground is 7.2

knots

so you can't really complain to that of

course this c-state is exactly

what the overdrive feature was built for

if you get big waves and swell and wind

against you then

deploying the overdrive feature is not

recommended

our speed over ground is 7.3 knots

probably could be a tad more if we

didn't have drag

from towing our dinghy we don't normally

tow the dinghy but we're literally

going five minutes around the corner so

we don't mind here

okay drop it go to 30.

[Music]

okay

[Music]

okay

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

you have arrived look at that view

that's a million dollar view there isn't

it look at the color of the water in the

rocks

and the first thing that any good sailor

does when they actually

take a dinghy ashore they also take

their rubbish ashore

and find the bins

that's that job done now let's find a

bar

two priorities

that's not how you spell fs

yeah only too much here but that's okay

it's still cold it's still beer

and we've still got a fabulous view

[Applause]

the lady speaks english so that's good

if you don't speak any turkish

[Applause]

slowly but surely life is returning to

normal

at least here in some of the tourist

spots in turkey

looking at abc from this angle you just

see how

wide her beam is she's got a big fat

up that over there is gimmel island

itself and a lot of the boats

come and take a line ashore there it's

very very deep in that water

and we decided that it'd be just a lot

easier for us to

drop our anchors here in about eight

meters of water

in sand and we can just dingy

over to the island tomorrow morning when

it's a lot cooler

and start our climb up to the top it's

so very different here

than it was when we first arrived and

dropped anchor here about

six weeks ago maybe eight weeks ago now

there's so much

traffic with the tourist boats and ringo

boats as they call them

it's even here we've still got local

fishermen boats a little water sport

area

and their designated void off area and

then beyond that the swimming sort of

touristy area

and then us hang it out here

and then of course an even better view

and we see the boats in particular the

touristy boats all finishing up for the

day at gimella

and heading back to wherever they came

from

oh such strong fellows if you all get in

i'll hold and push

[Applause]

start straight away okay baz

[Applause]

we're not gonna play now oh yeah

are you doing there buzz

i'm losing me i'm using my cakes

flashing my ass all over the place

man votes about enough

[Music]
