We helped deliver Rama (now called Thea) from Turkey to Malta. Check out the inside of this classic 1968 motor boat. She is quite possibly the most beautiful floating gin palace ever designed!
Taken after lashing the video cam to the granny bars and getting some good shots of us working as a team, tacking twice in six minutes (I know it's six minutes cos that's how long the clip is).

* tales from the high seas *
Just to prove that I'd done it, I recorded the moment I got the third sail up on my tod. As I say in the clip it may only have been 4 knots and the fenders were still out but it was quite an achievement for someone who has only been sailing for two years. ...
When Liz and I sailed to Kazikli we had dinner at one of the two local restaurants. This one allowed us to take dinner on a floating raft where we were able to pull ourselves along a cable out to 'sea'! When we needed table service, however, a little local...
We were very fortunate to arrange for one of our friends to board another boat and film Esper under sail. Although the camera work is a little shakey in places (it was his first time using the cam) this still gives you a great idea of exactly what Esper lo...

Yet another little anchorage rarely visited. Here the Fish Bwoy takes in the beautiful view from Kucuk Cati across to Amazon Creek. We literally spent half an hour here, just stopping off for a swim because we fancied it!

Mersincik is an anchorage that we've visited a few times now and it never ceases to impress. The dramatic sheer cliff faces mount a bright rising moon whilst the red setting sun casts eerie shadows across the bay. Just off the beach is this little cove and...
Chris and Jamie donned their walking boots and took a hike up to the top of Knidos peak. The reward was a breathtaking view in both directions, with the low sun in the west and views back across Mersincik towards the north.
We've gone on about Knidos at great length, and it features in this movie section a few times too, so here's some evidence of why we keep going on about it! This clip had to be edited because everywhere we turned there was another relic or ruin or structur...
When old friends Rus and Fiona came to visit we were introduced to the 'I Like It Here' dance, a kind of tribal ritual that has to be carried out whenever one feels the need to express one's delight upon discovering a new place. This is a very important ce...
