...now browsing by day

Other than the marble quarries there did not seem to be much to see on the Marmara Adasi island when I had a better look at day light. The hotel wi-fi was not showing up and then I did find that my broadband Vodafone stick worked. But at snail’s pace. So, everyone, hold your pictures, in your e-mail for the next couple weeks till I am back in the world. A friend sent me pictures today and it took for ever to grind into my mail box.
I am now anchored at 40 deg 25 min N /27.04 E. This is the kind of anchorage I expect in Paradise. A beautiful little bay in a village of which I do not know the name. I have no paper charts and my electronic charts do not give the names. It was a beautiful sunset. The water is flat. I rowed ashore and found a store that sold me two beers and a bottle of wine and I managed to find a few groceries.
It was about a 40 mile sail. I left too late to make it to my next option but I am now out of the Sea of Marmara and entering the last narrows before I get into the Eastern Aegean Sea. It was a perfect day. I had the spinnaker up for a while but then the wind died and I motor sailed the rest of the way.
I will try to post this on the awful broad band service but I may have to add the pictures at a later date.
