🇹🇷️ Turkey

61 Isn’t that a beautifull present! It took me some time to come to this point: I am going to live on the boat while my eldest son Bart and his wife will live in my house in Holland. Wonderfull that they will use my uninhabited house but there is quite some cleaning up to do before they will be able to live here. Hopefully there is enough time, I will return to the boat in Gulluk Turkey in 5 weeks.

It is a true privilege: sailing from anchorage to anchorage in quiet and beautifull Montenegro. But Turkey calls once again for new adventures.This time it is going to be the west side of Turkey. The plan is to sail from Bar in the South of Montengro pasing Corfu and Albania, all around the Peloponnesus,sailing South then West, passing Crete, Santorini and Tilos to Datca, a port of entry on the west coast of Turkey.

Our fastest passage ever: 1062 miles in 8 days, from Bizerte Tunesia, Malta, Crete to Kekova Island in Turkey. The first day of the passage a strong east wind is against us but then the prevailing west winds take over and the snow covered mountains of South Crete appear already after a few days of sailing. good food keeps a sailor going a few visitors came for a good rest snow on the mountains in South Crete a first view of Turkey A beautifull anchorage in a hidden bay on Kekova island.
