Sabbatical III gets lifted free of the deck of the Thorco Svendborg<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

We were at the dock at 6:30 am today as our boat was scheduled to be the first one unloaded. It took about one hour to slowly lift Sabbatical III off of the deck of the Thorco Svendborg and deposit her into Marmaris Bay.\u00a0 We then motored around in order to dig out lines and fenders before heading for Yacht Marina in Yalanc\u00c4\u00b1 Bo\u00c4\u0178az which is a few miles from Marmaris at the southeastern corner of the bay.\u00a0 We did our first “Med-Moor” (backing into a straight dock without fingers while picking up a bow line from the water) without drama.<\/p>\n

As we headed from the Thorco Svendborg to the marina, we could feel the wind pick up but we were not sure if it was just windier at the SE corner of the bay or windy everywhere.\u00a0 The wind was whistling though the rigging of the 600 boats moored in Yacht Marina.\u00a0 It turns out the wind came up so strong that only two boats were unloaded today as it became unsafe to continue.\u00a0 Tomorrow the wind will increase further to 35+ knots and no boats will be unloaded.\u00a0 Monday will bring rain along with some reduction in the wind.\u00a0 So we were quite lucky to get in the water.\u00a0 Everyone else is heading back to their hotels to wait for the weather to improve.<\/p>\n

The boat came through the trip looking just fine and we are excited to start cruising in the Med.<\/p>\n
