Chris stood the first watch as we motored gently away
from Rhodes, and there was very little shipping to worry about. The sky
was clear and full of stars, as well as a surprising amount of air
traffic. It appears that flights take off and land througout the night at
Dalaman, which must be a joy for the locals! Pete and Mary took
the 0300-0600 watch, and did manage to get the genoa up for a
while,though the wind was neither very strong nor very consistent. The end of
Steve's 0600-0900 watch saw us entering the Gulf of Fethiye and then we just
needed to decide which bay to make for.
Kucuk Kuyruk is a small and peaceful bay just inside
the Gulf and here we dropped the anchor and took a line ashore. This has
often been an exciting exercise in the past with just the two of us
on board,but with no wind or swell and with excellent teamwork it was
soon accomplished without problems.
The
water here is clear and looks inviting, but we decided that it might be a little
early in the season for a swim before
breakfast.
So breakfast on deck followed by a few hours of
chilling out seemed in order,with the tough decision of whether to stay here or
move on delayed till later in the day.
