Boat Yard in Turkey


As we were driving we came across this small inlet and there was a ship yard with lots of boats unders various stages of repair and new construction it wasn't by any means the same type of construction as we'd see in the states but it certainly seemed to do the job for them. The tourist season is just getting ready to start in earnest down in this area. These small sailing boats rent out by the hour, day, few days or by the week. What ever you want. Then they take you sailing where ever you want along the coast of Turkey. After around the 15th of April the water starts to warm up and it's very pleasant to swim, dive, snorkel or whatever water sport you might want to do. Today a jeep passed us with a full load and then a trailer behind loaded with kayaks. It was a beautiful day, water was calm so they'd probably had a great day of kayaking. The water is so crystal clear and blue, just like around Cozumel in places. Made me want to go sign up for a trip tomorrow. But I realize I'm in no shape to kayak....Don would have to pull me to shore for sure.
