Home sweet home

Here we sit in Yacht Marine, Marmaris. and if we have to sit in a marina, this is a great place to be 'stuck'! We have, we think, the best spot in here, we're tucked in 'side-to' tied up secure and kinda tiucked out of the wind. We're blocked from the wind by several hundred boats out of the water for storage and a big row of Eucalyptus trees. So we're happy.

Trying to chisel away on a bunch of boat projects and so far, doing pretty well checking them off the list. Nothing major, just small things it'll be nice to get done and the things you can't ever seem to get to when you're on the move. Rachel's borrowed an industrial sewing machine and we picked up some fabric from an upholstery shop in town and she's busy making storage pockets we can hang on any available wall space. For us -- storage is the biggest issue (this week) You MUST be organized to live in small space and not have to move everything around all day long !!

John and Rosie (Erik's parents) are coming next week and staying for a month! We're excited to see family and show them around our favorites of Turkey........
The first thing we get to go to right after they get here is going to be quite an experience,...... "Camel Wrestling" is happening near-by, and we're going with a group in a van we rented. I can't imagine what it's all about, but apparently the Turks get into it with traditional dress and it's quite a show. We'll certainly be posting pictures of that!!

See you soon,
