We hired a Turkish Gulet - a two masted wooden boat with a motor. The first charter this couple had done - many hiccups! Our boat is not in this scene - a bit to the left, I remember...
My travel diary once again - delights me reading it all again and seeing this photo!'
“Early morning cup of tea and we noted there were flames shooting out from under the stove! Breakfast was delayed while the guys stripped the hoses and replaced the seals. Roy and Sarah ( our boat rental managers) met us with a new dinghy.. ( the previous one had the back with the outboard motor on it, fall off!) I went barefoot ashore for bread, milk and raki which was a gift. John was holding station off the marina so we motored away as soon as we could. Around 8pm we motored past a lonely beach restaurant with a Turkish man hurrying down to our mooring. We chose the one table with a pink tablecloth. Took photos of the pink and white oleanders to the side and the bay behind. We were served with the most beautiful chips done in olive oil, then stone cooked oven bread which was divine! Lightning flashed in a cloud crossing behind the mountain peaks. It got darker and the moored boats were reflected in the dark mirror of the water.”
A fabulous capture of your wonderful holiday, bring back great memories.
For about 6 years, we chartered a yacht and spent two weeks each year sailing up and down the Turkish coast. I remember seeing those big Gulets only too well :-)
I hope that both you and @Weezilou are enjoying each other"s projects right now as you are both exploring your past in photographs and it is so wonderful.
What a story! I wonder how you managed to remember all the details. I like going over photos I took from our travels years ago and remember all the places but not so much details like this. Looks a lovely place to sit down for a snack under the sun.
Another great shot and story. A reminder for you of your travels and an interesting tale for us on 365 to be able to travel with you and your memories.

Fascinating to read your observations and I’m impressed with everything you noticed and documented so well
