While we were anchored in the bay a fire started on the hillside immediately on the edge of the town. Fortunately the wind was blowing the fire away from the houses. What was astounding was how quickly and significantly the fire developed. Within minutes the whole hillside was ablaze. The fire service reaction was very impressive - both firemen on the ground with hoses from trucks and a helicopted lifting water from the sea and dropping on the fire - they had it under control within minutes of their arrival. But so lucky the wind was in the right direction. Now we're catching up with boat jobs (measuring for new sail cover, fitting new anchor line, cleaning etc etc), relaxing and preparing for next leg of our journey heading for Marmaris/Gocek on south coast. Take care Helen and Iain
