We motored here and changed the courtesy flag to
Greek before anchoring off the quay in this tiny island which belongs to
Greece
but is only a few miles from the Turkish mainland
and the town of Kas. The plan was to get some Pork and bacon as well as some
Greek beer!
It was a very picturesque spot and we enjoyed
swimming off the boat in the company of a rather large ponderous Turtle which
had seaweed growing on it's shell!
Unfortunately we were asked to move the boat around
2100 (having been anchored for some 8 hours) by the customs launch - they said
we needed to be further in towards the quay away from the area where the ferry
berths.
So we duly up anchored and relocated. Much later -
0230 we dragged the anchor and had to re-anchor - we went back to our original
place but then felt we would have to move
before any morning ferry arrived. So we were up
again around 0600 and moved to another bay around the headland from where we
were able to take the dinghy ashore to get our shopping.
On our arrival on the quay we had a quick walk
around found the supermarket and checked out the old church - which was locked,
on our return to the dinghy Rob was soaked by buckets of water being thrown very
enthusiastically by
the young men on the jetty - apparently it was the
island's annual 'water day'!! Fortunately I managed to stop any serious
drenching but did let them soak my feet.
We left and headed for the bay to the south east of
Kas where we planned to anchor for the night.
