Right, here goes.
So, I arrived in Gocek, Turkey on the 20th of May. After catching a bus to Gocek, I arrived at the boat at about midnight. The next day, we motored down to Boynuz Buku, one of our favourite bays.

When in Boynuz, I had a chance to play with a few of my old toys.

The sea scooter - 33 (sea)horse power? |
We had to return to Gocek the next day though, as Mum had to return to France to look after little bro over his half term before his A levels. Mianda became a bachelor boat for the next two weeks. And, as you'll see below, was loaded suitably. :)

The main cabin. It didn't stay that tidy for long! |
The den of inquity - my cabin |
Supplies. Dad and I got through all that!! |
Yes, all that is beer.
A few days later, Dad and I went to Tomb Bay for the swimming (we were based in Boynuz again). On the way, we saw this gorgeous boat! Named after me, and built in Pendennis shipyard, near Falmouth, a mere few miles from where my Pa grew up as a boy!

A few days later, we continued up the coast to Marmaris, to meet up with friends. The trip was uneventful (apart from my seasickness - of which there are no pics, thank God), although there were some good comic moments.

Yes, that *is* a hammer. And yes, it is legit. He isn't posing.
In Marmaris, I was able to catch up with Thomas, the guy responsible for me getting into biking by both having a beautiful and immaculate Ducati Monster, but also for giving me a model Ducati Desmosedici which has lived on my shelf ever since. Staring at that daily was a good inspiration!!

Get a Fazer, Thomas!! |
A few days later, we sailed up towards Bozburun, Bencik and Keci Buku.
Proof that Mianda doens't just motor everywhere! |

Limit reached - continued...
