Some of our challenges are obvious and predictable.  Bits of machinery break (this week it was the windlass that pulls up the anchor and the outboard motor);   we have to leave Turkey every 90 days to renew our visa (Mike had a nice day trip to Rhodes so he was technically in Greece for a few hours);   bananas go off very quickly in the heat,  and so on.  Some challenges have come as more of a surprise.

We noticed strange red streaks appearing on the deck.  Mystery solved when missing red nail varnish noticed on Carols toes. It seems that both sun screen and insect repellent soften nail varnish which then ends up on the deck.  Heaven knows what it is doing to our skin.  The nail varnish remover is now deployed as a handy deck cleaner and will in future be purchased in significantly larger quantities.
