What do we all want after a day sail ? For some it a bar with nice cool beer , others it a noisy town quay where they can people watch , for us it a quiet bay , where we can swim and drink our nice cool beers a and leave the world behind , so after a hard day sail and not knowing the area we reach out for our friend , Rod pilot book of Turkey with caution, Well we had one or two disagreement in the pass Rod and I ,
This time he writes " in the bay there several bungalow complexes around the shore . Shelter from the prevailing northerlies looks good " and you know what ? His right , it's very well protected and a nice anchor stuck in the middle of the pilot picture of the bay , we though we give it a go , its a shame he fail to say that all the building around the bay belong to the military and the whole bay has well has the bay South is a prohibited area , Although give him his dues , he did have a no anchor sign in the bay South
Well the skipper of the patrol boat did see the funny side of it , As my co skipper shouted out , ROD said it ok for us to anchor here ,she's thinking he prob won't understand her , he shouted back who HEIKELL ?
That one consolation , We not the first that try and anchor there .
God bless you Rod , you do give us a laugh now and then .
OK here an Edit to my posting .
90 % of the time Rod book are very good , plus there lots of info not connected with sailing and there are worth every penny . Sorry Rod if your reading this , but we both found this so funny that the skipper of the patrol boat know your name , I guessing others have shown him your book .
