PART THREE TURKISH DELIGHT
Gökova is the gulf that keeps on giving! The further we delve into its depths, the more delightful anchorages we pass, and Frank is kept busy on the plotter, marking them all with anchor symbols as sites worth returning to later in the season.
My son Adam is now with us, along with his girlfriend Louise, and the August sun blazes from a cloudless sky as we graze leisurely along the coast. We stop for lunch and I swim ashore with ropes, but our meal is delayed as everyone wants to join me to cool down in the clear turquoise waters before we eat. When the food is eventually on the table, we are joined by a host of unwelcome guests: wasps. They become such a nuisance that as soon as we have eaten, we up-ropes and move on to another anchorage far from these annoying pests.
A little further along the coast is Akbük, and here we re-anchor, although not too close to shore as the water is so shallow. I have my eye on a convenient tree as I swim towards land, but my attention is suddenly caught by splodges of brown beneath me.
