Lazy saturday.

---

Well we ended up staying in Selimiye all day Saturday as Martin wanted to do a bit of work on the boat and it was about time we had a kick back day. So we hoisted Martin up the mast, swam, ate, a bit of walking and sleeping. I have developed a liking for apple tea and find it very refreshing so drink a few of those during the day.. Robert made a friend in Pepe the lab and became quite well photographed when they were doing their diving tricks off the jetty. On one occasion they were set to go, Robert said yes, and tricked poor Pepe into diving in while he just stood there and then every one stood and laughed. Pay back, a couple of times later,all set and Robert dives in but Pepe stays high and dry. He then proceeded to give a gleeful barking and dancing display. He certainly new what it was all about. I should explain that when we go into a bay, we quite often moor at the jetty of a restaurant. This means that we don't have to pay for the power and water or mooring as long as you eat ate the restaurant. These are usually very good. In Selimiye it is very good food at this restaurant. We would go and look at what was available then select and wait. We ate there on Friday and Saturday night, both times fantastic. Sunday we sailed and settled for the night into Marti Marina in Orhaniye. Good food once again. As I write we are headed up the coast to Datca after a very early start at 6.30am. Pip/Rod

Fish, the family dish.
This was beautiful and the sauce was to die for. Great for dipping bread into after you had finished the fish. Magic.

This is the lamb kebab. This was great as well.

Martin doing a bit of work way up the mast. We have to hoist him up 58ft. A lot of huffing and puffing.

Water sports.

Pepe gets his own back and then stands and barks very much like he was laughing.
