Fokkaya Limani to Polemos Boku

My father and I woke up early and went for a swim and then sat on deck and watched the other boats rise as the sun warmed. We watched the Innes family get picked up by Nellie and a local guy in a speedboat to go to an ancient site. We were going to go but the fee was 50 TL a person for a boat and car ride. We decided that was too much so we begged off. Sarah and David’s kids Jamie and Louisa looked very hung over, but made it into the boat and off the y went at high speed. I hope they have a good time.

We lazed around, swam and read or books. It was afternoon when we saw The Innes clan return. We lazed around some more and then finally good ourselves organized and raised the anchor and headed out of the sheltered bay. The wind was blowing hard so we put a reef in the main and headed out. We had an exciting sail up wind and around the headland and into the bay of Polemos Boku where we found a space with good swinging room and dropped our anchor. We again reversed it hard to set the hook and when it felt good let out some more chain secured the engines and jumped over the side for a swim. Just as we finished our swim Sarah swan over to tell us that we were wise to skip Nellie’s expedition. It was way to expensive for the transportation. The ruins were good but not worth the cost.

We offered her a gin and tonic and had a nice conversation in the cockpit. Sarah proposed that we all get together in the morning and walk across to the ruins on the other side of the isthmus. Sounds like fun so agreed to meet on shoe after breakfast and Sarah swam back across to her boat. Martha had cooked up some lentils to go with the leftovers from last night and we all squeezed around the table in the cockpit for dinner.
Lentils, sauce, salad, bread and olives. Plain noodles for the girls. I played some uno with Winfree and then headed to my cabin to read. I am now reading Enders Game which I bought for Estill at Christmas and she has just finished. So far it’s off to good start. Good night.
