Selimiye to Bozburun

Wow, wow, wow, wow, wow....

We left Selimiye at 11:10 on Monday the 29th September and motored through the most (insert your favourite superlative here as I am at a loss) scenery imaginable. The route took us through narrow gorges between precipitous islands plunging into seas so deep the depth sounder gave up on occasion and through shallows in the turquoise waters that looked like we would bottom out at any second.
We put the headsail up, but it just obscured the view so down it came while we motored in awe.

Once again, the IPhone didn't cut it, so if you want to experience this, you'll need to buy an air ticket.... we'll be here for a while.....

Bozburun sits at the head of the bay and for a change there was plenty of room on arrival, Someone to allocate our spot and assist with mooring, power and water at the end of a most enchanting morning.. what more could you ask for?

We sat down to a mouthwatering lunch.... just loving lunch in Turkey. Sal received some bad news, so it became a long lunch....

Having lost a day in Selimiye due to the bad weather, we could only afford to spend one day in this delightful hamlet. Woken at 5:00am by the Mullah across the way calling us to prayer... bit of a cheek if you don't happen to be Muslim, but it does have a certain ancient romance to it which I have always loved listening to.

Leaving Bozburun at 10:15 and realising that the enduring memory will be that it was where Sal got the news that her Mum, Maureen had been diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia and she would need to get home as soon as practical.
