Marmaris to Bozuk Buku

Current Position at anchor in Bozuk Buku: North 36*34'490 East 028*00'660 - Good holding in 25ft of sand and weed.

After a month of endless hard work both on the hard in Yacht Marina and at anchor in Marmaris bay we have finally 'almost' completed all the jobs to get Blue Moon back into a fully functional live aboard cruising boat. Today that hard work paid off as we blew out the cobwebs and made our first step back into our Mediterranean cruising season.

This morning we picked up anchor and motored (against the wind of course) 27 nautical miles west along the coast and back to the beautiful anchorage of Bozuk Buku. Also known as Port apolotheka or ancient Loryma, the bay is overlooked by the ruins of an ancient citadel and dotted with small fish restaurants nestled in the valleys of the imposing rocky hills.

We're heading up the coast tomorrow towards Bodrum where we'll do a final stock up with food and fuel and then check out of Turkey.
For now it's off to enjoy a cocktail while watching another great sunset!
