Islands and Gocek

TURKEY | Friday, 14 September 2007 | Views [174]

Today we sailed to a wonderful bay that was surrounded by mountains.  A wealthy Turk lived in the bay during the summer on a house boat that was the size of a small town.  It was basically a giant catamaran with a tennis court under the main deck.  He also owned Ataturk s yacht, which was parked nearby.  It was, as one might imagine, gigantic.

We spent most of the day swimming and waterskiing.  Jen Agnew is a great skiier!  I was able to stand up on my first go, but promptly wiped out in a fantastic fashion over and over again.  Apparently it was quite amusing.

After a few hours, we docked in Gochek for our final night in Turkey.  Gochek is a cool town with a few good restaurants.  We opted to dine on the ship, though, as we had the best chef in the land.  We chatted with the crew until late that evening.
