we've arrived uh pretty much on time two

o'clock in the afternoon

and um we've taken one of the morning

balls here that's always an adventure

it is

because

i'm useless

[Music]

i'm barry i'm anchor this is the

continuing journey of sailing abc

saturday morning here in marmaris and

we're going into the marina but first

we're going to go to the fuel dock and

look and pop out

[Music]

[Music]

not too bad considering there were no

marineros here to help us and i thought

that went really well

[Music]

we've been in mamas marina for a couple

of days now and the things we've

achieved so far are editing the latest

video together that's just rendering and

we'll go up this afternoon and we've

also cleaned the boat on the outside so

she's looking very shiny

right now though where are we going

we're going to the chandlers

and then we're going to film some

marmaras to bring you guys because we

haven't actually done that

no not properly

and hopefully we can go and see the

castle on the hill yeah

come with us

summer's definitely here but isn't it

it's very warm it's lovely yeah it's

like being back in australia it's great

much better than the winter

[Music]

how would you feel if you woke up in the

morning to discover that somebody had

built a high-rise apartment block

overnight and completely blocked your

view

[Music]

we have a guest

[Music]

this promenade that we're walking along

goes pretty much the full length of the

bay here at marmaris quite a few miles

or quite a few kilometers i reckon but

we've been walking for three hours

already so that's how sure

yeah

but anyway we're going to walk along

until we go look that's enough now let's

just check out the rest of marmara is by

foot that we haven't actually looked at

so

yeah

[Music]

how do you like your steak rare medium

rare

wait what are you doing ruined

we walked a little bit away

along the beachfront

and found out that we were feeling

hungry found this place

got a texas burger

and she's got a steak salad salad

and we've got a great view of the water

as well yes

yes cool

well we made it this far along the

promenade and we're going to turn back

now

we're going to head into town and we're

gonna go to the chandler's

and uh there's something else we're

gonna do in town i'll probably remember

along the way and then we're gonna head

back to the boat heading back to the

boat we decided to come in one road and

uh check things out mainly because we're

looking for a printer cartridge and

we've just come in and noticed that

behind us here is the indian restaurant

that we visited

uh way back in the episode that's up in

the top corner of your screen right now

and you also notice there is a big

shopping mall here

and we don't see many of these in turkey

so we're going to go in and take a look

[Applause]

so currently to get into a shopping mall

or something similar you're going to

need one of the electronic s codes on

your phone and they'll also take your

temperature

i didn't have my phone or my head code

with me and they were quite happy to

just accept anxious code off her phone

for both of us but they did take his

temperature as well they did

i was perfect as always

[Applause]

[Music]

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

one thing to consider if you are coming

to marmas is for getting around ease of

getting around is to rent a bicycle they

have bike lanes pretty much along all of

the front

of marmara's bay

it's very flat there's no uphill bit at

all so rent a bike

an easy way of getting up and down

and uh it's a good exercise too

he tells me that now

this is a bike park rental area so using

a credit card it's gonna cost you two

lures for your first hour two lira for

every hour after that for 24 hours and

the charge for every hour after 24 hours

is five turkish lira so they don't want

you to keep it more than a day this

summit we've learned

jinan in china's shangdong state is a

sister city with marmaris

how good is that

i've got this park here

to

recognise the fact

[Music]

it was a part of me when i saw it from

across the road hoping and praying it

was the outdoor eating area of a chinese

restaurant

never mind we haven't had chinese food

for oh since we were in spain

i don't know

no before then

i think the last time we had chinese

food was probably two years before we

left australia so we're coming up coming

up on six years now

oh no i had some with liz and mark when

i went to stay for them oh

all right you're okay

[Music]

there probably is uh a main passageway

to the castle here at marburys but um as

we don't know where that is we're just

going to basically follow our noses

and aim in the right direction and go up

but we should get there

i think at some point there's a sign

i think you might have seen that yeah

[Music]

[Music]

okay if you see that sign

don't follow it because that literally

just takes you to the castle bar

unless of course you want to go to the

castle bar in that case follow it

[Music]

that there would be it well the sign

says it's open every day from 10 to

19 30 hours

but today

it's got that on it

and it's not open for another 10 days

so

i guess we'll have to get the castle

next time we're in marmaris that's a bit

disappointing

[Applause]

but you know it's something to look

forward to next time we come back to

marmaris on the way back to cash

okay right now we're off to find the

post office so we can mail our patrons

their

monthly postcards yes if you want a

postcard from us

check out the tiers on the patreon

website and the link is below and you

might find it here just for you yeah

and there's the post office

off you go s code lady

job done job done they're winging their

way to our patrons

right now

coming to a mailbox near you soon

i'm going to break the fourth wall here

and let you into a little bit of a

secret

because

postcards are difficult to come across

in turkey um due to the digital age

probably postcards are becoming a thing

of the past so when we do finally find a

shop sells postcards we buy in bulk

and here we've hit the mother lode

bit of hot camera on camera action here

who are these guys where are they from

smile

fancy a nice sophisticated watch

close to authentic

let's get to it

okay we're back in our favorite kebab

shop this is the best one that we've

found in marmos and the the lamb

gonodorum here is just brilliant let's

just put them together now

[Music]

[Applause]

so if you're walking downtown

and you come across this place stop and

say hello

and tell them abc sent yeah and finally

it's time to go to the chandler's

and uh see how much money we can expect

footsaw and weary

oh look it's been um it's been quite

good we got the postcards we got a few

things off our list at chandler's okay

we found out that the fort's closed but

is opening in 10 days time so we'll be

able to visit it next time yep we will

right now though it's back to abc

and uh i'm gonna put my feet up and have

a beer i think okay i might put my feet

up i'll have a cup of tea and then i've

got some hot washing to do

[Applause]

i've thoroughly enjoyed my time in

marmaris every single part of it

actually even the walking yeah i mean

it's not life

it's not my fault that my hips are

slightly misaligned since we bounced

onto a really heavy thing in the dinghy

apart from that yeah i really enjoyed it

we got to see a lot more this time

didn't we yes we did except the castle

but that's another story so it's

thursday morning it's around about 10

o'clock and we have got a four hour trip

ahead of us we're going to a place that

i can't pronounce but the name is on the

screen right now we colloquially uh know

it as the animal farm because there's a

restaurant jetty there and he has

chickens and goats and sheep and

all sorts of things just roaming around

we we stuck our nose in it the last time

we went around that area just to have a

look because kev told us about it and uh

yeah so we're gonna go there we're

actually gonna go there today yeah stay

tuned

here we are

so that's the plan i'm just about to

call up the marine arrows and get them

to uh make sure we don't bump into

anything in the narrow fairways here at

port marmaris netsol marina and

we'll get underway

[Music]

[Music]

so

[Music]

i don't know if you can see that

but he

knowing that he's got two boats directly

behind him has already got a fishing

lure out look at that see it skipping on

the water i don't know if you can see

that

what a larrikin

[Music]

[Music]

so

[Music]

what are your thoughts on this you're

going to turn around

come straight down here

go this way

stuck in it and i can't get it

there's nothing i can do

[Applause]

this time don't try and hook it onto the

barrel just try and do something

different no i didn't

don't talk to me now just do the job

here comes assistance

[Applause]

[Applause]

[Applause]

we've arrived uh

pretty much on time two o'clock in the

afternoon

and um we've taken one of the mooring

balls here

um

that's always an adventure it is

um

because

i'm useless

there's lot there's lots of ways of

getting the mooring ball

you know in a position where you can get

your line around it at the mouth and um

yeah well and she'll explain what she

did with the uh the boat hook okay well

i was basically a

the first boat hook i used was this one

and this is an extending one which is

quite good because you get the length

that you want

um but because it's got like a double

hook thing

when i hooked it into the

to the line it actually got caught in

and then

um i couldn't pull it up because either

i wasn't strong enough all

the mooring boy just had to stay on the

surface of the water so i couldn't get

this out

so that stayed attached to the first

mooring ball we tried to get onto and we

drifted backwards towards the second

mooring ball that were actually attached

to now i was panicking in case the end

of the boat hook got actually onto the

prop or wrapped itself around some part

you know like the rudder but

okay so the second one that i started to

use was this one which i think i'll use

in future

because it's only got the one

bit

that can get caught up in anything

it's all very technical

yeah now that i've got gloves that i

wear i'll probably find that this isn't

slippy because the reason we got another

one

originally was because this just slipped

straight out of my hand now the reason

we got another one was because you

dropped the other one you left the other

one attached to another mooring ball

another time and then you had to go and

swim for it and come back to the boat

but i couldn't hold on to it because my

hand was wet

my hands were wet and because this is

like a a shiny aluminium

see that's duct tape around there now so

but yeah so if you're gonna get one with

a shiny aluminium thing and no grips

wear gloves

so that's all i can tell you about

mooring um i can't actually tell you how

to do it well because i haven't done

that yet

in the end the bloke came out on his

little boat his little tinny and helped

us get the line attached to the mooring

ball yeah he said that there is no

charge for the mooring ball it's free

um but we were kind of encouraged to go

and at least have a beer and a snack at

his place if not a full dinner which is

funny enough that's what we're going to

do anyway because why not yeah and we're

supporting the locals who've had a

really hard time last year yeah

yes

okay so we're here for one night

um

and it's we're the defendant of course

it's it's it's well protected i think

yeah yeah yep i'll show you around

if you enjoyed this video don't forget

to leave us a big thumbs up down below

it really does help us out and we'll

catch you next week on sailing abc
