Merhaba,

  I’m backtracking to Wednesday’s first meeting of the Crafts/Art Group.  It’s another nice way to meet other cruisers and find company to do projects.  And our new berth on B dock is a great place to take photos of Marmaris town across the way.

Ps these photos are not compressed

Marmaris Town in the morning…

From our new spot on B dock we have a beautiful view of Marmaris Town.  But because we want to be tied up along our side rather than stern tied, we will move to a different location next week…hopefully.  In the meantime It’s a lovely sight to see first thing in the morning and later lit up at night.

Testing my zoom……

An even closer shot that my other camera could not do. 

Some wooden sail boats are still around, but most, if not all will be gone for the winter.

Our neighbors in the marina.

Sailors’ Point Library/Meeting Room where we have our “Arts and Crafts” group meetings.  Now a 2 minute walk instead of then 15 minute walk from our first berth on A dock.

A dock is not near B dock..but rather across the way making A come after N.  Hmmm.

Our first meeting sharing ideas, skills, and goals.

I didn’t get everyone’s name so I’ll wait until next class to introduce them to you.

The lady in stripes, Kirsten, is the leader of the knitting group.

Visiting some yarn shops to see what’s available.

So many choices!

I may have to knit something too!

Later in the day Randal and I went for a walk…..

I zoomed in to capture this cat that was unsure of Randal and me. 

Most cats are very friendly and eager for some pats and while Randal browsed in the marine shops I made friends with the “several” who live there.  Most cats are well fed and seem healthy as there are lots of feeding stations around Marmaris for them.  Not the best answer but better than nothing. 

  I do think I’ll like my new camera and I am slowly reading the directions.  Indoor photos are still a challenge.  Also, when I compress them in my word program it seems to make them less sharp.  I don’t remember that from my other camera though I don’t know why changing cameras would matter.
