We are preparing Dakini for her first guests! (Sailing Dakini – Leave to Roam Ep. 21)
We are still on the south coast of Turkey excitedly anticipating the arrival of our first guests, family from Australia. We take the opportunity of a few days sailing from Kalkan to their pickup point in Gocek to get some preparations done. Preparations include... cleaning, shopping, repairing and ...
A perfect day sailing in Turkey! (Sailing Dakini – Leave to Roam Ep. 20)
We had an amazing day sailing from Kas back to Kalkan as we begin our journey West along Turkey's South Coast. Whilst it is sad to leave Kas, a persistent 15kt wind gave us a good excuse to do some 'proper' sailing after a number of weeks of short day trips between sites. We do stop ...
Exploring Kastellorizo and doing some diving around Kas! (Sailing Dakini – Leave to Roam Ep. 19)
That's right, we loved Kas so much, we made sure to visit again on our way west. Kas is a stone's throw from Kastellorizo, a beautiful Greek tourist town on a small island. Kel spends the day visiting Kastellorizo, including climbing to the very top, finding the only bakery and swimming wi...
Deadly fish poison – Kekova to Kas! (Sailing Dakini – Leave to Roam Ep. 18)
We need to re-provision and pump black water so we sail east from Kekova to the large city of Fineke on Turkey's South Coast. We anchor of this non-touristy town after visiting the marina, and find an incredible local market where the people were so friendly and the produce was amazing. After ...
Kekova Roads (Pt 2) – this is a cruiser’s paradise! (Sailing Dakini – Leave to Roam Ep. 17)
We are still in the Kekova Roads area, as we have discovered a cruiser's paradise. We leave the Gokoya anchorage and enter the roads themselves, sailing past the famous sunken city before anchoring in the inner harbour. We visit the villge of Ucagiz on the Lycian Way before taking the dinghy to...
Kekova Roads (Pt 1) – what a playground! (Sailing Dakini – Leave to Roam Ep. 16)
When we entered Turkey we weren't sure if you would make it this far east but are we glad we did, because the Kekova Island area is a real playground. It wasn't a long sail from Kas but it was so peaceful sailing past the islands including the Greek tourist destination of Kastellorizi. We...
Kas – our new favourite town on Turkey’s South Coast! (Sailing Dakini – Leave to Roam Ep. 15)
We had heard some really positive things about Kas, a popular town on Turkey's South Coast, and were not disappointed. After med-mooring opposite the main marina, we ended up extending our stay a number of times, making the most of a great location, clear water and the vibrant town itself. Whi...
Kalkan – a less visited but still great cruising spot! (Sailing Dakini – Leave to Roam Ep. 14)
We wanted someone to anchor between Gemiler Bay and Kas, and settled on the large bay off the town of Kalkan. We med-moored in a very popular spot sheltered from most winds other than the rocketing katabatic 'bullets' and really enjoyed the clear and very fishy water. Once again, spearfis...
Gemiler Bay – amazing clear water – and pirates! (Sailing Dakini – Leave to Roam Ep. 13)
The first stop after Fethiye heading East along Turkey's South Coast is Gemiler Bay. We managed to sail most of the way here but it was a struggle, often beating into the wind. Once around the corner we saw our first 'pirate ship' - a popular design for day tourist boats in this part ...
Fethiye – ancient history with a great vibe! (Sailing Dakini – Leave to Roam Ep. 12)
We left Gocek and sailed across the Gulf of Fethiye, along with many others, and entered Fethiye to go to anchor. It was a great day at sea, but we were excited to be arriving at one of the busier cities on this part of the coast. We were not disappointed. Fethiye has an amazing food scene, lots of...
We found Gocek’s amazing supermarkets at sea! (Sailing Dakini – Leave to Roam Ep. 11)
We enter the Gocek Special Marine Area from the West after departing an amazing anchorage. There's no opportunity for us to sail in here, it is a wonderfully enclosed cruising ground with loads of great spots to anchor. We were somewhat surprised by the sheer number of other boats in the Goce...
Exploring Turkey’s beautiful South Coast! (Sailing Dakini – Leave to Roam Ep. 10)
We finally got out of Marmaris, and had our opportunity to start exploring Turkey's beautiful South Coast. We managed to do some sailing which was great. We also started to improve our med-mooring skills, which is an essential requirement of exploring these amazing anchorages. The water was cr...
Marmaris – party town! (Sailing Dakini – Leave to Roam Ep. 9)
We arrived in Marmaris hoping we could get our rigging repairs done quickly and professionally. We ended up having to wait a few days for the availability of the riggers, which gave us a great opportunity to have a look around. We probably enjoyed the food scene more than anything else in this ...
We made it to Turkey, and checked in at Datca! (Sailing Dakini – Leave to Roam Ep. 8)
After successfully checking out of Greece in Kos, we start early and sail the very short distance into Turkish waters. While frustrated we still can't sail due to our snapped main halyard we make great time, admiring the beautiful coastline as we motor to Datca. We make Datca in time to check ...
Everything’s breaking on our way to Kos! (Sailing Dakini – Leave to Roam Ep. 7)
We are in a race against time to get to Kos to check out and head to Turkey. This is all due to the requirement to not overstay 90 days in Greece next time we are here. Schengen visa restrictions are a PAIN! We get some great sailing in after leaving the Temple of Poseidon, as we cross the Aegean S...
A road trip during our second visit to Poros! (Sailing Dakini – Leave to Roam Ep 5.)
We loved Poros so it wasn't long until we had our second visit. This time however we had things to do, namely a requirement to pick up some delayed mail from Kilada where we picked up Dakini. We used the opportunity to hire a car from Poros, cross the ferry to Galadas and have a bit of a road ...
We found a sunken city at Epidavros! (Sailing Dakini – Leave to Roam Ep. 5)
We cross back across the Saronic Gulf in Greece and after some great sailing find a lovely anchorage in the pretty port village of Ancient Epidavros. We spend a couple of nights here and take the opportunity to explore the ancient ruins and town itself. We loved the cute little ampitheatre, tombs, ...
Poros, a quintessential Greek coastal town! (Sailing Dakini – Leave to Roam Ep 3.)
We leave Ermioni, Greece and continue to learn more about sailing Dakini our Lagoon 421, and the systems onboard. We know some bad weather is on its way so we sail as far as Poros, a famous coastal town in this part of Greece, and anchor to ride out the winds. While in Poros we take the dinghy in t...
Ermioni, and sailing our catamaran for the very first time! (Sailing Dakini – Leave to Roam Ep 2.)
We leave Porto Cheli, Greece and shortly after, hoist our sails for the very first time on our, new to us, Lagoon 421 Dakini. The conditions were pretty benign, perfect to learn some new skills. We sail around Spetses Isand, and then anchor in only 3metres of water in Osmos Kapari, south of Ermioni...
