S5#2. Chased by POLICE - in prohibited area! Plus Portofino Update

This week we see the Portofino 52 decisions about interior design and trying to create the "Perfect" countertops! Only the best for Eli!!! Trying to get exactly what Eli wants, is not always straightforward and we take the time to try and make it SPECTACULAR! Back with us sailing the Mediterranean Turkey, we also get chased by the Police as we accidentally enter recently created prohibited area in idyllic quiet bays on the Turquoise Coast.... Who would have thought? Nothing to be seen on the charts and guide books but the armed police made forceful statements about "entry forbidden" and references to the "Sultan" renovating his resort.... So we high tail it out of there. Later we are informed that the restaurants that we were aiming to visit were evicted forcefully by the President and the had to relocate although they are trying to fight for their rights to get their land back in the courts.... What are their chances against the President, unless he loses his position??? Hope you enjoy the journey with us this week!

We are also offering boat build tours with sailing off Dubai to share the progress of the P52 build and provide whatever sailing or life discussions that YOU want us to provide during all of these events..... It is a very exciting prospect and we have been requested repeatedly to give advice, take folk sailing, teach sailing techniques etc etc.... So here it is!!! Any Patreons will have the choice to join us for these events which are usually about 5 days to be up close and personal with Eli and John and learn from their expertise... There will be sailing trips, excursions and chats during the events and the subjects will be designed to suit the participants that will be there.
