Only 5.3 n.ms planned for today, therefore, a leisurely breakfast of pancakes and chocolate spread was enjoyed in the cockpit. Yet another beautiful day has begun. A few indoor cleaning jobs required my attention and Kevin decided to wash over the hull. After lunch we headed to Turkbuku, only 4.5 n.m and less than an hour of travelling. There was of course no wind at all! So on the engine yet again. The coastline between the two towns is littered with villas and hotels, gradually increasing in size and value, the nearer we get to Turkbuku. As we entered the bay of Turkbuku, it was evident that, yet again, the season was only just begining. So many hotels being painted and pampered, restaurants being titivated and cramed with tables, chairs and various kitchen appliances, all awaiting the next eager batch of holiday makers. A very busy time for everyone, the only quiet, untouched place here, was in the water with Kejstral :) We enjoyed a few hours fishing and watching a group of men trying to construct a pontoon. It was the most incredible scene, not a tape measure or plumb line in sight. (much to Kevins disgust) By the time we left Turkbuku, they had finished their higglety, pigglety, somewhat drunken construction. So, look out for the most unusual pontoon if ever in the area!! After an evening meal of spaghetti bolognaise, we boarded our tender to a jetty, (not the drunken, rickety one) We took an evening stroll around the very quiet bay, stopping to watch the local fishermen crooning over their catch with, no doubt, a few tales of lost and enormous fish that got away. Settling down in a very pretty bar, we checked the next days weather over a beer and red wine. With our journey to Iasos or Kiyikislacik organised we headed back on board for another calm nights sleep.
