Force 6 to 7 soon

The forecast encouraged us to set off in good time to get past the Notorious Seven Capes' and beyond Patara to the harbour at Kalkan.

In the event the winds were light and the sea was smooth. Last night the wind did blow up for a while, and the yacht next to us had to reset its anchor twice in the dark. A large gulet also had problems but we wondered if the guests were aware of the crew working away with the anchor and using the dinghy as a tug to push the gulet into place.

So now we are settled in the busy town harbour at Kalkan, with dozens of little tour boats, one large gulet and a rare flotilla composed entirely of young people. Their advertising must be very specific. Earplugs are at the ready. Flotillas have almost disappeared, even Sunsail has decamped from Turkey to Croatia and elsewhere.
