We are anchored in O.Meloyi on Patmos with four other boats, German, Austrian, Italian and Turkish. A coastguard patrol boat came in in the past 30 minutes and inspected our DEKPAs and insurance. All except the Turkish boat, who they did not question. I have never seen this before. Also wonder what the arrangement is for Turks.

They probably thought that boarding a Turkish boat under Erdogan would quickly spiral out of control and very quickly lead to WW3. :ambivalence:
