Port Marmara Friday 3rd JUNE
We motored down the coast to the next harbour and
were soon anchored and tied back to the quay having been assisted the the
harbour
attendant a friendly older chap who spoke little or
no English! There is a dedicated area - (wall painted white) for yachts to
tie up which is on the north quay there is no
room on the outer mole as it was full of fishing
boats some two abreast.We were alongside Maeves the French EMYR yacht we have
already seen twice - Bozcaada and Istanbul.
This town was pleasant with plenty of small shops
and cafes etc. We had a walk and explored the place and then returned to the
boat for lunch.
With an invitation for drinks on Maeves at 1900 we
both had a snooze then showered, changed and headed next door. Had a good chat
and shared some pilotage information
before we left to eat rather later than usual
around 2030.
We decided to leave the following morning after
taking water, washing down and buying some fish from a local chap on the harbour
- the fish were small sole and were still flapping so really fresh!
We headed for Avsa Adasi a small island to the
south and west of the port of Marmara. We had been told that there was an
unfinished marina here where we could tie up for free amidst very quiet
scenic
coastline.
