Freedom moored in the harbour For a month we sailed quietly through a few Greek Islands and down the Turkish coast. We came to Fethiye to meet up with Tom, Linda and Glen, and then things got busy!
We were very excited about havng Tom on board and from the start he took to the boat and everything we did was 'fantastic' - well apart from the pump toilet which he thought was very wierd!
Along the way Tom experienced helming, winching, swimming, snorkelling, diving, water skiiing, jet ski, multiple inflatables, water tennis, frisbee, fender racing, being towed behind the boat on a rope, driving the dinghy, rowing the dinghy and so much more. We swam around an underwater town and visited a roman amphitheatre, and he even saw 2 shooting stars when we were star gazing at night on the bow. We went out for a few meals along the way, and Tom had enough chilling time to hang out in the hammock and to read all of his books.
We sailed with new crew (Tom) from Fethiye to Ciglik bay, Yassica island, Sasala bay and Gocek where Glen and Linda joined us for a day sail to Yassica island and back (a
bozburun
on the Aegean Turkish coast day with a great deal of water based activity). Then we sailed on to Gocek island, Cleopatras bay, Kizil island and back to Fethiye. We still had time for a whole day enjoying the time and facilities at Linda and Glen's hotel.
Along the way we played chess, quiditch, awarie, yatzee, bananagrams and rumikub.
So yes, it was busy but wow was it fun - enjoy the photos...
