It is a true privilege: sailing from anchorage to anchorage in quiet and beautifull Montenegro. But Turkey calls once again for new adventures.This time it is going to be the west side of Turkey. The plan is to sail from Bar in the South of Montengro pasing Corfu and Albania, all around the Peloponnesus,sailing South then West, passing Crete, Santorini and Tilos to Datca, a port of entry on the west coast of Turkey.
Uneventfull checkout at the port of Bar: very different than the arrival
Bye Montenegro, you where a star
On passage again
Took quite a while to realise: the oil platform is towed slowly by the tug so there is a long cable between them...
Passing Santorini
Very fast ferries in Greece...47 knots..
And this is what they look like
What to do with so much time while on passage? Try hair options
Hello said Datca, welcome to Turkey
First shopping just done, now awaiting checking-in by the agent at the waterfront
