After a leisurely breakfast we set sail from Gocek to explore the Gulf of Fethiye.
We had a wonderful sail in calm sheltered waters where we saw dolphins swimming alongside us!
First stop was Tomb Bay which we had to ouselves. We anchored and the girls paddled ashore in the dinghy with a rope to tie to a rock. That's what you do in the Med. The water is so deep you haver to hold the boat in to the shore othwise the anchor may not hold. Also, when the place gets crowded the boats don't swing onto each other.
Being April we had the whole bay to ouselves, surrounded by amazing scenery with Lycian tombs carved out of the rocks.
After lunch we sailed off to explore the islands and we found a way through to the open sea and then an even narrower passage back in between two islands.
We headed to Ruin Bay which looked an interesting place to anchor for the night. Just as we dropped the anchor a local boat came and we were invited to move to Wall Bay where there is a new pontoon. So we motored there and moored next to a South African boat with an Israeli crew.
This was a beautiful spot with great cliffs and the sound of goats bells on the mountains around.
