Left Fethiye Thursday morning with the intention of heading to
Olu Deniz but winds dictated otherwise and ended up back at 12 islands mooring
at Kapi Creek a lovely sheltered narrow bay with a restaurant and proper jetty,
suprisingly there were a lot of other boats there and discovered that the
weekend was a Turkish holiday (Parliament Day?) On Friday walked over to
Seagull Bay the next bay round and ended up spending a second night at Kapi
Creek with the rest of the revellers from Istanbul who were sinking vast
quantities of Jack Daniels and Jim Beam (not sure what happened to the Muslem no
drinking policy!). Left Saturday morning and in very little wind sailed
towards Olu Deniz, arrived and moored off St. Nicholas Island (reputedly the
real home of Santa Claus - all those years I thought he lived at the North
Pole!) The Island consists of ruins of a Byzantine church and settlement which
is surrounded by crystal clear sea which unfortunately has become the playground
for the jet-skis and gulets from nearby Olu Deniz.
