43. First sail of the season | Sailing the Turkish coast of Marmaris | We back baby | @SailingKawai

@SailingKawai This week we leave Australia and fly to Turkiye to be reacquainted with our boat Kawai. We have 2 weeks to get her ship shape before we leave our hard stand and are placed into the water. There are many jobs to do, as we receive new batteries, a new solar arch is installed and Trace heads up the mast to fix the anemometer. We have some last minute maintenance issues before we head to the safe bay of Marmaris. Our friends are arriving in 1 week so we take the opportunity to sail to the beautiful bay of Kumlubuk. With light winds we check our main and head sail and ready them for the season ahead. Kumlubuk is a large anchorage 7nm from Marmaris. The bay has a variety of restaurants and bars, walking trails and some lovely swimming bays. We use the perfect conditions to explore Amos and it's ancient ruins which has an amphitheatre dating back to the 4th century bc. With light winds we cruise back into Marmaris ready to pick up Damien and Nicole before we sail towards Gocek. About us: Our names are Jason and Tracey and we traded our house, cars, business, job and security for freedom, adventure, travel and living simply amongst nature and the seas on our 45 foot Hanse 445 sailing boat, Kawai. We don't know exactly where the winds will take us at this stage but over the last couple years we have sailed to Turkey, Greece, Montenegro, Croatia. Jase loves making travel videos and we decided to upload to youtube to share our adventure. We really hope you enjoy and feel free to drop us a comment any time to chat or subscribe to follow along :) Instagram Jason: https://www.instagram.com/jase_stephe...
