Keci Buku/Orhaniye

I woke this morning before daylight to hear the call to prayer tape recording coming from the Mosque. I couldn't believe my ears when I heard a dog start howling on the first note to every word of it, stopped and started in all the right places it sounded so funny. 

Tony & I went for an early morning walk around the village to see how the locals started  their day. Some huge vege gardens in front of their houses were being tended to and flood irrigated, turkish bread being made in pizza ovens in the back yard. Cows goats hens & roosters all being fed and watered. A beautiful day with a gentle breeze. We had an amazing farewell from the local restaurant owner who appeared with a loud speaker and played the NZ National Anthem along with farewell calls as we departed from our mooring, this all added to the great hospitality of the Turkish people. Only a 2 hr sail today. A 30 knot wind is predicted tonight so we phoned through and booked a mooring at the Luna Begonville yacht club in this lovely sheltered bay knowing that we might miss our on a mooring with everyone having the same thoughts. We've had a very relaxed afternoon.

Looking from the yacht to our table being set. Just have to make sure you walk the plank in a straight line at the end of the night or you end up in the Aegean.
