In this episode of Sailing A B Sea we are back at Osman's Place for Bozburun's best breakfast and we have fun getting onto a mooring ball in 25 knots of wind at Sailors Paradise.

The mission today is to drop our dinghy and  we're going to tow our mate's Kev's dinghy  

across to the harbour at Bosburun because  he's got a problem with his outboard engine  

I'm Barry, I'm Aannsha, this is the  continuing journey of Sailing A B Sea

Do you want to go in there? That's where you went? Yeah

Oh wow

Osman's Place otherwise known as Gordon  Restaurant in Bozburun. If you want any help with  

how to get things fixed then come and  see Osman and his lovely wife Lyn. They  

can give you advice on everything from A  to Z. They also have some really good food  

and it's very very affordable. The English  breakfast is highly recommended. Breakfast arrives

Thank you!

And as we said in our previous  video when we were here in 2018  

they know how to do English breakfast  because they've got HP sauce. And tea, look!

Also when you do frequent their establishment,  they have toilet and shower facilities that you  

can quite freely use and I'm just about to  go and show you where they are right now  

They've just spent the winter and the uh general  sort of like covid lockdown refurbishing the  

place and it's looking absolutely fantastic. This is just a little selection of their mezes and  

some of the main courses but around  behind here you'll find the toilet area  

Ladies toilet, gents toilet, one shower and two  showers. In the overall scheme of things the  

harbour area here at Bozburun is um it's small I  think but it's perfectly formed. You've got to  

drop your anchor here and then just reverse onto  the quayside, the harbour side. Someone will always  

be around to take your lines and then you just  tighten up your chain but the great thing is it's  

probably around about from memory only about  five metres deep in here so you don't need a  

lot of chain out which is great. All right mission  accomplished we've had our full English breakfast  

Kev's dinghy outboard has gone off  to the doctors to be probed and poked  

and tweaked. We've had a walk around town we've  been into the supermarket and got our supplies  

because tomorrow's lockdown so it's time to get  back into dinghy and head back to the anchorage

and have a swim. Yay!

Looks like we're going to have a nice day today.  Well it is summer - yeah - we're actually just going  

around the corner in the dinghy back to the  anchorage we first stopped at because basically  

we just want to check it out with our masks  and snorkels and do some filming around there

All right let's load this baby up  and see how slow we can go. Let's go!

Feet got a little wet on the way  over. The problem is that the chaps  

um the way the water comes from the propeller and  the fins it actually gets underneath the chaps  

and can't find its way out backwards and some  of it finds its way under here and comes down  

here and hence we get a swimming pool inside  the dingy. We'll try and figure something out  

Anyway we have arrived. The admiral  is just going to secure the ship

Wednesday morning. It's about half eight now and  we're leaving Bozburun. Today's journey is going  

to be huge. Not really it's two hours, two hours  maybe three hours if we double back on ourselves  

we've got a planned anchorage and it's a nice  sandy bottom quite shallow so we can drop the  

hook and swing freely. Unless of course everybody  else has thought of that plan in which case we've  

got to sort of like double back on ourselves  an hour and go and tie up at a restaurant jetty  

We'll see how it goes when we get there

["Sings"] And we are sailing, we are sailing... No that's not going in. No. Don't do the piano singer

[Both laugh!]

Okay well of course, the wind's dropped to 15 knots. Yeah I was  just going to say, you get the sails out and the wind  

goes from 22 to 15 to 14. but we're still doing  5.6. Yeah. I mean you know it's a big head sail

We've just tacked and we're doing 3.8 knots  

and our first choice of bays  is just around that rock there  

before the trees. So we're going to look in here  first this bay but it looks quite busy already

Got the flag behind you letting you know where the  wind's coming from Baz. That's what it's all about. Yeah

4.3 knots speed over ground with 11 knots of wind

That one was chock-a-block so we're  going to come around into this bay here  

which also looks really busy and  

see what we can see here. This place was  another choice but it's either too shallow  

or it's too deep or there are boats where we  would go so we're going to leave this one as well

Two hours he said. Two hours he said. We arrived  at thirteen thirty so we left at nine  

ten eleven twelve. Four and a half hours!  But you know we've had... we've had lots  

of different kinds of weather. We have. And  lots of different kinds of sailing styles

So we've come to the little restaurant jetty  area where our mate Kev's on the jetty but we  

can't go on the jetty because it's already booked  out um so they had one of their mooring balls  

available. [Snapping noise]. That's just the the lines slipping...  Yeah that's... No no it's just jumped out it's  

just jumped over the toe rail. Oh okay. So it was quite  interesting approaching the mooring ball in

twenty ... It's 17 now but yeah it was about 22 knots. Twenty odd - 25 - knots of wind.

Yeah gusting. And um there's a boat right next  to us, I'll show you in a second. But but I had  

because so far when we've done mooring buoys  um we knew that the fella was going to help us  

but when that's... when we've had assistance  before we've always used our own lines so I had  

a line already attached waiting to give to him  to you know take around, put on the other cleat  

um but he was holding one up and I'm  like oh okay so I took mine off  

and originally I tried to get it through the  fairlead because - That's what we do - that's what  

we do but then that became very apparent very  quickly that the line was too short and I'm thinking  

oh okay. So we abandoned that. Of course at this  point the boat is now stationary so I have no  

control over the boat at all. No. So we we we  I just backed out because otherwise we were  

likely to hit this boat next to it so I went  that's just not good go back out and try again  

uh second time lucky. Yeah second time so I went  sorry. So second time the guy picked up the line  

again and I just took it straight to the cleat  because that was the only option and I've got my  

hand done then I'm going "catch it, catch it, catch  it" because I didn't want to go through it again  

anyway I caught it and I whipped it around that  cleat like a pro ... sailing pro... um and then and then

he brought a shoreline - yeah - to our aft cleat which  is kind of good otherwise we'd be smacking into  

the boat next door. Yes so it's actually quite a  good little system um so if you come to Kokabahce 

Koyu, uh be prepared to take his lines and  do it that way. Yeah and hopefully you'll be  

doing it in less wind!
