🏝️ We thought Kaprije would be another peaceful stop along Croatia's stunning Dalmatian Coast... until another boat accidentally hooked our anchor chain.
After motor sailing from Šibenik, we arrive at the beautiful island of Kaprije and find the perfect spot to Med moor. With Sea Moon safely s...
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 ...
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...
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 ...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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 ...
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 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...
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...
We learn about the birds and bees in Borneo and where to put the lines when we remember how to Med moor for the first time in 10 years.
After too many cocktails the night before in the best beach bar in Sabah at ‘Secret Place’, it was an early start to sail round the tip of Borneo and hook up with ...
