Day 128 - Our Final Day in Turkey

So here we are. Our last day (if all goes as planned) in this marina, in Marmaris, in Turkey. It’s almost hard to believe that we are going to be untying the lines tomorrow and making our way into Greece. Even harder to believe that we have gotten everything done today and are ready to leave tomorrow! It really hit us during our dolmus ride back from town (yep, one more trip) on how the slog is over. Tomorrow we plan to get an early start so we have some time to check into Greece, enjoy the beautiful town of Symi, do some grocery shopping for foods that you can’t buy in Turkey, take a nap… And for those who are interested, our itinerary as of now is to leave Symi on the 6th and anchor on Astipalaia, the 7th we will head to Naxos/Paros, the 8th we will aim for Kea or Kithnos which is approaching Athens and then on Monday, the 9th arrive in Poros, an island on the east coast of the Peloponnisos and within a stones throw from Athens. The winds forecasted even look favorable with some mild southerlies to help us along.
Since we will no longer have routine internet, we will do our best to keep up the blog as much as possible. We will see how the daily entries go…
Wish us calm seas and fair winds!
