Happy at a yacht marina

Hello Marmaris, the largest harbor on the southern Turkey coast. At four miles wide, it is a favorite of private yachts, plus a major port-of-call for big cruise ships. The bay with its surrounding pine-clad mountains is a stunning beauty. With a hearty " Welcome to Moonbeam", I jump onboard my home for the next couple weeks.

First order of business is to help work through a list of boat chores and do some socializing with some of the cruising folks on the docks. They, like us, will depart sometime soon for magnificent places.

Moonbeam's plan is to leave by Saturday, stopping at nearby anchorage of Citlik on the Turkish coast, then the Greek islands of Simi, Rhodes, and finally Crete possibly by May 9.
