We are now back in the US after having put Sabbatical III away for the winter in the\u00a0Ka\u00c5\u0178 Marina.\u00a0 We checked out of Greece at Kasterllorizo on October 28th, which is Ochi Day, a national holiday celebrating the refusal of the Greek government to accept the ultimatum of the Axis powers to allow Axis forces to enter the country.\u00a0 The Customs agent was part of the ceremony but we were happy to spend an extra hour watching the official festivities before getting checked out and leaving for the one hour sail to the Ka\u00c5\u0178 Marina in Turkey.<\/p>\n

The day after Ochi Day in Greece, it was Atat\u00c3\u00bcrk’s birthday in Turkey and also a national holiday.\u00a0 The check-in to Turkey was handled by an agent at the marina and was painless although a bit pricey.\u00a0 The marina itself is beautifully situated and the staff are extremely friendly.\u00a0\u00a0Ka\u00c5\u0178 town had one large street party for Atat\u00c3\u00bcrk’s birthday, with dining in the streets, music, speeches, and a fireworks display. We spent some days getting Sabbatical III ready for winter storage.\u00a0 She was expertly hauled and now sits with a beautiful view across the Bucak Deniz, the long fjord-like bay on which the marina is situated.\u00a0 We spent a few days on the boat after she was hauled doing maintenance tasks that required that the boat be out of the water.\u00a0 In this we were assisted by the personable and knowledgeable Riza Cagdas Cakir and his assistants from Emek Marine who drove down from G\u00c3\u00b6cek to help for an afternoon.\u00a0 They got more done in an afternoon than I could do in a week.<\/p>\n
