Marmaris, Turkey

Merhaba

   Clase and Bertha are looking for a boat.  They have been sailors for years but now are thinking a trawler would be the best option.  They came to Marmaris with their boat builder friend Folke to spend some time on DoraMac.  The weather did not cooperate!  They arrived at DoraMac on Monday in the rain and it rained and rained.  We’d planned to do a ‘sea trial’ Tuesday but the Marinaros didn’t feel it was wise to remove all of the lines crisscrossing the marina holding all of the boats safely in place.  There is no path through the water to leave the marina when the lines are tied from the bow of one boat to the bow of boats across the way.  We were told that if conditions improved, early Wednesday morning the lines would be removed and we could leave the marina.  Thankfully that happened and we were able to go out for a 90 minute cruise in the somewhat bouncy waters.  We returned, docked DoraMac, retied the lines and got everyone to the taxi for the short trip to the Marmaris bus terminal for the noon bus to Izmir where they would catch their flight back to Sweden. 

Whatever their decision will be, we really enjoyed our time with Claes, Bertha and Folke  and wish them a wonderful cruising life.
