How NOT to Sail to Turkey [Ep.24] Worst Sailors Ever - Living on a boat - Sailing SV CUBA

We Are THE WORST Sailors ever! 😀 In this week’s Episode we sail to Turkey from Greece. SV CUBA is anchored in the beautiful town of Lindos. But for our American crew Shyah it is time to say goodbye to the life at sea and return to cold Boston.

Shyah has left SV CUBA and the next day we are on the way to Marmaris. The wind and waves are in our favour and we set sail east. Yet about 3 hours into the sail Salsa notices something is off and after checking the route it becomes clear: Enrique has added the wrong course into the chartplotter. Instead of sailing to Marmaris, SV CUBA is heading straight to Bodrum, around 80 km south of the original destination. Bummer! We are amending course but our agent in Turkey must be scratching his head.
Instead of 8 pm we manage to somehow manoeuvre into the tricky anchorage in front of Marmaris at 3 am. Once again we drop anchor in the dark.

The next morning the have to wait on the boat for formalities to be cleared and we realize that we have about 6 liters of drinking water and no coffee left in the boat! Oh, how prepared we are?!

Once paperwork is completed, however we hoist the anchor and start moving again. This time we actually want to make it to Bodrum. So we use the winds around the islands to propel us forward. The weather conditions are perfect between the islands but further out it’s actually pretty gusty so we seek shelter in a bay and tend to the important things in the life of a sailor: food! 😀

We are Enrique (Kiki) from Cuba and Sarah (Salsa) from Germany, a sailing couple. We are living on a boat, our tiny house, creating a travel vlog as we sail around the world. We have almost zero sailing experience, but are determined to circumnavigate & share our adventures with you.

We are by no means film makers or video editors so please let us know what you think about our videos, what you like to see more of – or less 😉

Sailing life can be a real challenge and is not just (sailing into freedom) and a bit scary at times (especially when your home dangles from an iron thread just 10 mm thick). What is to come? We don’t know but day by day we are learning how to live more sustainable, living off grid, more connected to nature, so we can share our adventures with you. Come storm or good weather.
