(May 2009)
As per the plan we were away at 6am to make it to Yalova before the wind got up. There didn’t seem to be much wind until we got around the headland (Boz Br) and then wallop! With the tide and the headwind we were struggling to make any reasonable headway and were down to 2.6 knots at times. Derek made the wonderful decision to turn around, which isn’t something we’ve done very often. So we flew back around the corner to Narlı. We anchored just up from the village. The depths for anchoring were a bit deeper than expected (around 16m) but we scouted about until we found the shallowest spot possible (7m). Good holding in the blow. The village looked hospitable but we had a bit of a rest and then carried on up to Gemlik.
