The First Morning Aboard

We set out at 06:30 in Beetfish’s tender to fish. After two hours of trying, we returned to the boat.

We set out towards Gerence, right across from Çökertme. Gökova Gulf Sutliman. Gökhan with the captain on the flybridge; Selen is pulling the boat, Figen and Berfin are on the forward deck, Volkan and Derin are playing backgammon at the stern. My beautiful mother enjoys looking at Selen, Derin and Volkan. Alper is preparing breakfast.

We stayed in Tatlısu Bay. It's a heavenly place: turquoise water, pines reaching almost to the sea. We swam around the bay; the temperature of the water is wonderful. The day was spent with sun, swimming, fishing and enjoyment.

We did sports with Berfin. After dinner, we played rummy and slept under the stars.
