Weather is expected to be terrible, hence the extra day here in Datca. Woke to really high winds, 30 knots and above. As we had already moved the boat further from the harbour wall (wind would have blown her straight into it!) Took breakfast into cockpit to watch the world go by (literally) whilst eating. Wow, waves rather powerful. We watched people being blown along the harbour and various fishing items flying through the air from the little cluster of boats alongside us. In the bay north of ours, we watched the fishing fleet and their owners bouncing around on the waves. They fought desperately to reign in and protect their livelyhood. eventually managing to take control. We decided to go for a walk and investigate the area, eventually finding ourselves back in the cheesecake/ internet shop :) Spent the rest of our day collecting provisions and organising ourselves for our journey tomorrow. Decided to go for a meal to the local restaurant, very pretty place a lovely choice of fresh fish and meze (Turkish starter selection) Wandered back to ensure 'Kejstral' had not floated away, then snuggled into bed for the night.
