Cemal departed in the  taxi morning of 22 June at 10 am. Great to catch up with him, he does pretty well for a 77 year old. One of nature's absolute true gentlemen. A Turkish born mining engineer who went on to have a very successful career in Germany. After he retired many years ago, I got him back in the harness for a few years as the Project Manager of the Voskhod chromite project in Kazakhstan were he did a great job for us.

I got to and started preparing the boat for John Bond's arrival. Laundry, internal clean, minor odd jobs etc.
