April 2014 Quick visit to Sequel in Turkey

03 April 2014
We returned to visit Sequel in Marmaris Yacht Marina to check on repairs being carried out and there was some suggestion that we might set to and polish the hull.  

We arrived late on the evening of 2 April and for the first time decided to spend the night locally in Dalaman before setting off in a hired car the next morning.  The season has only just begun at the beginning of April and although the hotel had potential I am not sure the owners had woken up from their winter hibernation.  We were, however, quite pleased when we arrived at the marina that we had done so as finding Sequel in amongst all the other hundreds of boats on shore could have proved quite challenging late at night and slightly travel weary.  

Needless to say absolutely nothing had been done in any shape or form in respect of the repairs we had arranged in October so I left Bruce to rant at Aysha and did a little grocery shopping.  

Can you see the boat?

We were delighted when our friends Geoff and Anne arrived from Guernsey on Thursday evening and we spent quite a lot of time catching up with them over (Anne's very strong) G&Ts and dinner in the Marina's restaurant - we couldn't cook on board as both boats were out of the water still. 

Bruce did sort 'things' out and even arranged for the boat to be polished before we return - thank goodness - had everything crossed that we wouldn't have to do this.

We return on 07 May for six weeks and are very excited about our visitors in May and June before heading for Kos and back to the Greek Islands for the summer months and beyond.
