For the next few weeks we are enjoying going nowhere fast. The bay is about 15 miles long and is enclosed by many islands. Fethiye is at one end, we go here once a week to water up and top up the batteries at Hotel Plaza. Internet and pool also.  Gocek is 10 miles across the bay and we can stock up with food every 3 days or so which is as long as the fridge can store fresh meat. Solar panels would solve this. Maybe next time? Boynuz Buku is the next bay down. Very sheltered and nice for a swim and a peaceful, safe anchorage. The kids have built stone jetty there. (Still under construction. Due for completion 2009.  Planning permission not granted.) At the bottom are a series of popular bays and good snorkelling. We have discovered ‘Water bay’. The water boats and the Gullets water up here. After very precarious mooring we went on the make shift water boat jetty (bashed together steel and floor boards) and used the 3 inch wide fresh water hose. Photos show us showering and bathing the kids in the anchor locker. Great for washing towels too.

A friend or Mark’s has been out to see us and sister Sarah is due in 4 days, followed by niece Becky. Tom can’t wait for his X box to arrive with Sarah. It was so hot yesterday that on the way back from the shop I went into the marina hairdresser and had my hair chopped off. Much cooler but not sure it was such a good idea. No pictures yet, sorry
