With help from a Turkish sailor, Oskan (whose boat is Kayitsiz III, in which he did a 3-year circumnavigation of the world without electronics), we poked in between the partly submerged sea walls and anchored in Bademli. Quicksilver is one of the two sailing boats at centre right.
We walked a mile or so into the village. It does not seem a wealthy place. But, as so often, the mosque is well maintained.
The next morning we retraced our course. Here you can see the old sea wall. we have to line up the outer headlands (from right and from left) to find the gap we can go through.
Bademli fishing pier.
Kayitsiz (carefree) III, built to the design of a Bristol Channel Cutter. Oskan is living on board, working on a book about his circumnavigation. The deflated dinghy is not his!
Fancy new hotel on island near Bademli. The spot is popular because of hot springs.
Flat calm again today. This is a tug towing a freighter on a very long line.
Port Saip is at bottom left. The town is Karaburun.
With the help of some friendly locals we moored where shown, right next to two more large seine-fishing boats.
Quicksilver, seine-fishing boats, and a seine net on the dock.
Our neighbours in Port Saip. Q is behind the large vessels in the corner. One of the fishermen brought us a large plate of fish. Supper was about a dozen fish -- large sardines and small sea bream.
Port Saip, looking towards the entrance.
You can see Q's mast at the right.
A street in Karaburun. The setting under the dark mountains is stunning.
View from Karaburun over Port Saip, where the light at the harbour entrance is visible. The view is looking southeast, towards Izmir.
A plant that attracted my attention as we walked into Karaburun.
Broom (another variety).
Oak apples or oak marbles (both galls found on oak trees)
Another view of Port Saip, in afternoon light.
And yet another view of Port Saip, with minaret in sun on the slopes above.
Dalyankoy is an upmarket holiday destination, with restaurants and holiday homes surrounding the water. We were glad to reach the harbour entrance, marked by this statue, after several hours of beating into force 5-6 with a foul current.
We found a spot to moor stern-to off a restaurant and stepped ashore to the nearest table!
Dalyankoy has a gentrified waterfront, with little sign of an old village.
Back at Sarpdere, approaching a different cove to anchor in.
In the evening, we took the dinghy out to take some pictures. The swimming was marvellous.
This view shows Q's tumble-home (sides that curve in at deck-level).
Quicksilver is anchored in about 9 ft., with just enough room to swing. On the northern shore are olive trees.
Morning view of the eastern anchorage at Sarpdere.
Gully down to the eastern anchorage at Sarpdere
Fish farm at entrance to Gokummer Limani.
Looking up Gökummer Limani from our anchoring spot. We took many tries to get a line ashore. The water is deep and the wind was gusty.
But eventually we had a great spot in this fjord-like anchorage.
Before dark, two more boats came in and poked up further than us.
Pigeon Island, with Byzantine castle. At entrance to Kuşadası.
Several birds in a hand. Sculpture on the front at Kuşadası. Samos is across the bay.
There was no indication of why this engine had been turned into a sculpture. In Kuşadası.
Early morning start. Off Kuşadası, looking southeast.
At the restaurant pier across the bay from where we anchored in Kazıklı Limanı, a Sunsail flotilla was arriving.
In Kazikli Limani we anchored near the dock used by supply boats for nearby fish farms. They offloaded fish and then loaded bags of food.
Notice the heel on the larger vessel as the crane lowers bags of food onto the smaller boat.
Many of the fishing boats here lie on moorings.
The shack is the fishing cooperative.Some people came to buy fish, others to watch the world go by.
Musical chairs as a different smaller boat loads up and a third picks up a mooring for the night.
And in the morning, the bigger vessel leaves the dock.
Off for a day at the fish farm.
