The post "What could I have Done" reminded me that most of the coastlines in South West Turkey and most nearby Greek Islands are very steep to, so that you can hit the topsides without underwater damage, if you do come into contact. While I was in Yacht Marine at Marmaris a new looking Oyster arrived and was moored between two other boats. Word got round that it was damaged. The story was that the owner was at the helm at night, motoring, and ran it in to a Greek Island!
Eventually the boat alongside it moved and I took this photo.
