dropped substantially over the previous 24 hours and we sailed in sweatshirts and jeans.\u00a0 It was a bit of a frustrating sail with the wind speed and direction changing every few miles coupled with an uncomfortable wave pattern.\u00a0 We entered the &#8220;Bucak Deniz&#8221;\u00a0 (Bucak Sea), which is a long fjord-like bay just to the west of Ka\u00c5\u0178 and anchored at the far end.\u00a0 The water was very clear and calm and their was a cool breeze blowing off of the sea.\u00a0 We had to dig out our blankets again for the night.\u00a0 Today the weekly market was held just behind where we were anchored.\u00a0 We just rowed our dinghy ashore and ate delicious spinach and cheese crepes called g\u00c3\u00b6zleme, washed down with fresh orange and pomegranate juice.\u00a0 The town has a small harbour filled with gulets (Turkish sailing vessels) and cafes and stores.\u00a0 There is a large contingent of expats who live here, so there are some upscale establishments.\u00a0 Just outside the bay is the island of Kasterllorizon, the easternmost inhabited island of Greece.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_3668\"
