Cam Limani... Beautiful bay

Marjolein and Maarten van Wamelen have lived on Mobilae, a 38 foot catamaran for 3 years and a nicer couple you couldn't hope to meet. Moored aside them in Kusadasi they suggested we try Cam Limani on our way north. An anchorage in a protected bay with a small beach.

It was on our first try that Summer had her mishap which forced a return to Kusadasi where we moored aside them once again. A couple of days later they joined us as we both set off for Cam Limani and for the first time ever we enjoyed what I was lead to believe happens all the time in the Med, a 'Pot Luck' dinner. This is simply where each boat cooks up something nice and it is all shared on one boat. It is probably supposed to involve more than two boats..






Another first, the Summer Amy was photographed on the water. Difficult to achieve when you're on the boat....On reaching the bay, we'd forgotten it was a Sunday and found it full of local pleasure boats. Thankfully only for the day so we elbowed our way into a spot, anchored, ran a long line to shore to stop the boat from swinging and settled in for a memorable afternoon and night.








Surprisingly, like Sally,  Maarten is an accomplished Asian style cook, so it was Thai beef red curry from our boat and a Panang chicken curry from theirs. We dined on the Summer Amy and what a feast it was washed down with chilled local Turkish white and delicious red wines. Yummmo!

A swim in the morning, which disappointingly revealed a seabed ladened  with garbage of all description...

We bid our friends a fond farewell and at 10;30 on the 22nd June, we weighed anchor and made for Cigacik.
