Gocek

We had some ground to make up and put in a big day (well a big day for us cruisers) across the gulf south of Marmaris, around 60M to Gocek where we'd been a long time ago. Fortunately there was a good breeze most of the way, especially passing just north of Rhodes where the wind seems to be funnelled in the 10M channel between the island and the Turkish mainland. Gocek was much as we remembered it and the marina still must be one of the best in the world. A surprise was seeing a colourful and noisy parade with drummers, dancers and camels - apparently re-enacting a old tradition of taking supplies by camel train from the port up into the mountainous interior. we also ate the same restaurant that we had eaten with Roy and Jackie and Terry and Jenny a few years earlier!
