Boz Burun. The bad news / good news place

Early start for a 46 mile hike to Boz Burun. 7:45 we cast off and left Ekincik to the geese and headed out into the dying wind of the past few days. Feeling feral having not had a decent wash for a few days, the boat was filthy, we had no gas to boil water for a cuppa but spirits were high, there was no way Boz Burun would be closed.... quiet, but not closed.

We made good time and med moored in what turned out to be a fairly tightly packed harbour at 1:45pm. Plugged in and showered!

This is a very cool little town. Very nice friendly vibe about the place. At dinner time we popped in on Ossman's the restaurant where Sal received the bad news about her Mum nearly 3 months ago and proceeded to drown it all in Tequila. He had not forgotten....

He was there, but his place was closed. "Hey, if you guys want to eat, I'll cook for you." he said.

That's a radish

We took a walk around town to see what was open and do some 'shopping'.....

There were some very local venues without a liquor licence which, as you'd appreciate, fell well short of that essential requirement so we returned to Osman's and took him up on his offer.

He and his Scottish wife Lyn got busy knocking up a veritable feast.

The next day was the big clean! All the sheets, towels, clothing, anything that could be considered even slightly soiled went to the local laundry. $40 to do the lot!

Mark, William, Summer and I got stuck into the deck scrubbing while Al and Sal transformed the interior.

We'd lost the use of a non-essential piece of equipment in the big winds which had Al up the mast again to effect repairs and by the end of the day, we were back to where we like to be. Clean, full water tanks, full gas cylinders, washing sorted and dinner pre-ordered at Ossman's.

Sal got some really good news about her Mum's treatment outcomes and the news of Paul, Sal's step Dad was also fantastic.... Tequila please!

Next stop.. Datca, another favourite of ours and sure to be open....
