Episode 204 - WANTED CRIMINAL!! CAN'T LEAVE THE COUNTRY! SAILING BLACKLISTED!
The Sailing Pickle Family YouTube channel has been a favorite among sailors and sailing enthusiasts worldwide, with the crew documenting their adventures across various destinations aboard their catamaran. In a recent episode titled ‘WANTED CRIMINAL!! CAN’T LEAVE THE COUNTRY!

Sailing Through Turbulent Waters
The incident began in the bustling city of Marmaris, where Sailing Pickle Family had stopped to check out of the country. Instead of a seamless process, they found themselves in a tangled web of corruption and bureaucracy that threatened their journey.
Dealing with Corrupt Officials
The core issue arose when officials at the customs office insisted they needed an agent to process their exit from Turkey. This insistence seemed unwarranted, given that they had all the necessary documents and even contacted the government directly for confirmation.
Encounter with a Hard Master

What an eventful few days we have in this episode! I have to apologise in advance for my ranting...... it was extremely frustrating and annoying, being messed about unnecessarily by these officials! Especially when you're on a tight time frame to try and get to another country, check in and pick up family who are visiting in just a few more days!! Huge windy banging sail which we hadn't planned on, but we find an excellent agent and restore my faith in the beautiful Turkish people!
