Heike turned up for the weekend and we moved Grapto from Chalki, Greece to
Marmaris, Turkey for repairs. It was a good cruise with a return to the
island of Symi and the anchorage at Marathounda, then briefly to Symi town
to clear out of Greece, then a nice anchorage in Kumlu Bay and a short hop
to the marina this morning.
It's no surprise that Turkey is my thirtieth country courtesy flag to be
hoisted on this trip and it's even more countries counting island group
dependencies and island states which use the flag of the mother country.
It's also no surprise that this boat has had a battering and is in bad need
of repair and maintenance. Marmaris Yacht Marina is huge with thousands of
yachts and not really my kind of place but it does have a lot of people who
can fix things. It's a sort of health spa for boats.
