A bit of wind
meant that we did actually sail some of the way to Gocek, putting the double
headsails to good use in light airs. In Fethiye Bay the winds picked up
and we sailed virtually all the way into Gocek. We parked in the municipal
marina and found some boats with CA burgees, which was good because we had no
idea where to find the restaurant for the dinner!
We joined the CA
group for drinks on the quayside before dinner, and met a couple who were
surprised to hear that we were from Scott-Free as they were expecting to see
Gavin and Sukey, the boat's former owners. It seems that many of the
people there will be spending the winter at Marmaris too, so we shall not be
short of company.
Dinner was a social
affair
that ended with
coffee and nightcaps on Scott-Free - during which Brian managed to check the
insides of his eyelids once or twice - although not as much as the previous
evening!
The following day we
said goodbye to Brian and Margaret after a very nice
lunch...
and spent the rest
of the day chilling out. Tomorrow we head back to Marmaris. There
are lots of bays and places to visit in Fethiye Bay (we know because we
sailed here 4 or 5 years ago on a charter holiday) but we decided to save
them for when James comes out to visit on the 10th.
