KEMER
Our original Home Port
I arrived here from Finland via Munich on Monday 17 March 2003 .
Bluesipp's covers had been removed, the decks rinsed and flowers arranged in the cockpit.
Quite lovely. Kemer was undoubtedly the best run marina on the entire circumnavigation. Thanks to the remarkable Hasan.
The weather was not quite so welcoming - windy wet and cold!
Trish and Ted (Rhumb Line) invited me to a very jolly dinner - We had first met Trish swimming the length of Ucagiz creek on our very first trip towards Kemer.
Kaleucagiz is at theSW corner of the view below.
This also shows our track (yellow) leaving Kemer, our port of departure and arriving at Finike (white) our final port.
The rest of March was spent on electric cabling, painting the bottom with Gelshield and installing the HF radio including its earthing and aerial arrangements. Many evenings spent before the roaring fire in the Navigator.
On Thursday 20th Irak was invaded.

In Kemer the sun came out but the winds continued
