Well finally we, Vicky and I, managed to leave Turkey - more or less complete from the excellent services of EMEK Marin and the brilliant RIZA and Seyfi.

We sailed in a good wind to Rhodes and made good time to arrive at 13.15 local, cleared customs, police and various authorities to enter the European Union. Departed Rhodes after a brief wander to the Castle at about 16.30 local for Symi. Vicky explored the famous steps - I tried to calm down after very tricky docking with strong cross wind - no insurance issues yet! RYS flag intact!
