After visiting and doing the tourist thing in Istanbul I found this reasonably priced Marina so decided to leave Minka here whilst I went home for three weeks.

The castle on the European side of the Bosphorus.

I am now back on Minka in Yalova and have been getting her ready to go up into the Black Sea. Still to do a bit of passage planning so not sure how it will work out. There is quite a lot of water which flows out of the Black Sea creating an adverse current so may be a very slow trip.
