We have to cross the Aegean during the Meltemi! (Sailing Dakini – Leave to Roam Ep. 33)
We sail at 0600 to ensure we can get most of the way across the Aegean in daylight. We were expecting strong northerly winds all day due to a big Meltemi and were not disappointed. We sail most of the way with two reefs, enjoying big seas slightly aft of the beam and make great time. There is a bit...
Our worst seas yet during our last days in Turkey! (Sailing Dakini – Leave to Roam Ep. 32)
Whilst we were enjoying Cesme the famous Meltemi had chased us out, and we had sailed around the corner to anchor off a popular holiday beach for a few days. This beautiful, but still windy, location allowed us to do some interior repairs, and get walking in prior to our check-out day. Unfortunatel...
Exploring the history of Cesme before the Meltemi sets in! (Sailing Dakini – Leave to Roam Ep. 31)
Cesme would be our last town in Turkey and we wanted to make the most of it. In a few days the Meltemi was due to set in howeverand Cesme would not be a good anchorage in a northerly. We were moved on once by the authorities into a better anchorage, and then had a great couple of days exploring the...
Mersin Korfezi and our last days cruising in Turkey! (Sailing Dakini – Leave to Roam Ep. 30)
We sailed from Dogenbay Adasi enroute to Cesme where we planned to check out of Turkey. The nasty meltemi was persistent which did afford some great sailing conditions as we had shelter from any seas from the north. We overnighted in remote and empty Mersin Korfezi, surrounded by impressive wind fa...
Dogenbay Adasi – taking shelter on Turkey’s West Coast! (Sailing Dakini – Leave to Roam Ep. 29)
Dogenbay Adasi is a special anchorage enroute from Kusadasi to Cesme and we had a great time here for a few nights despite the black flies. We left Kusadasi and had a great 20nm sail with winds on the beam however once it really kicked up we sought this bay for shelter. We ended up here for two nig...
The ancient ruins of Ephesus in Turkey blew me away! (Sailing Dakini – Leave to Roam Ep. 28)
Ephesus, accessed from Kusadasi, is one of if not the best preserved ancient Greek cities there is. The library of Celsus, enormous amphitheater and recently excavated terraced houses were truly stunning. Ephesus was a very significant city of its time, having homed John the Baptist and possibly th...
Kusadasi – is it for Cruisers… or cruise ships!? (Sailing Dakini – Leave to Roam Ep. 27)
Kusadasi on Turkey's West Coast is a city of renown, primarily as the gateway to Ephesus, one of, if not the 'best', ancient site there is. We wanted to see what it is like for cruisers, as we certainly hadn't heard much, despite the popularity of cruising Turkey. We weren'...
