Thursday 9 April
This morning sees us move on to Tomb Bay. Finally we have settled weather to enjoy this amazing location.
We sail towards the snow capped mountains in the north beyond Gocek – they seem so near and yet we are swimming in the waters at their doorstep.
The Lycian tombs are visible on the hillside on the right as we come into the bay and tie up stern to in a magical anchorage. We spend a couple of nights here exploring the hillside, which turns out to be quite a challenging climb, swimming and relaxing in the sunshine. Andy has an upside down experience in the water with his outboard motor so has to spend some time getting it going again, after which time it is put to the test in an episode of duelling dinghies… We and DB enjoy meeting Eric and Sue from SY Lola K and we also have a delightful evening and discussion with Cenk from Istanbul who moors alongside us on our second night.
By Saturday 11 April, we are running very low on food supplies and water. Also we have been cut off from internet access since leaving Marmaris, and Pippy’s computer continues to work intermittently – mostly not at all. It appears we will have to revert to a one computer boat, so keeping the battery charged on the Apple Mac will be a constant challenge.
We head for Fethiye and a chance to fuel up, power up, stock up on provisions and generally turn ourselves around.

Hi guys we are still watching the blog intently! Kite up at last, ask Ricardo about sailing javelins without a kite! Maybe he will remember Napier? We start an odyssey of our own in June so here is hoping for plain sailing for both families........
