Sailing around the world introduces a lot of excitement into our lives and it feels like every week something memorable happens. And the past month that we’ve spent sailing the South West coast of Turkey has been even more eventful than usual. Storms, beautiful anchorages, ancient ruins, and my difficult yet noble journey of becoming an amateur adventurer archeologist…
But this week we experience way more excitement than normal. But excitement can be both good and bad, and when our daughter gets really sick we find ourselves looking for a pediatrician who speaks english in a rural part of Turkey. And just when we think the excitement is over, we find ourselves being chased down by a warship in the middle of a massive military exercise.

There is a large naval base at Aksaz and they are conducting military exercise routinely. No need to get nervous. But you need to monitor notam announcements.

[@osric1730]

Its a pretty good indication you're in the wrong spot if you can see 3 submarines. Navies have a habit of treating them like testicles. Very sensitive, never to be seen family jewels that you get defensive about if anyone goes near them. You can be sure they had Atticus 2 and all who sail in her under a microscope of intelligence evaluation and a weapons lock. And whilst of course they weren't in any danger, I venture to suggest making any naval force nervous or interrupting their exercises to the point they move onto an intercept course is something you should be at least a little bit nervous about.

I thought I was the only one who noticed that at least a third of your anchorages are the best you have ever been to. You should make a list of "best ever" and then at some point prioritize the top 20 in order... I use the simple filter on my camper, but change it often. Better filter, like external electric power filters tend to get stolen if not locket to something. We use a Berkey for our drinking water and store in non leaching plastic containers. Is your water maker broken?

I don’t know why more people don’t stand “behind” the helm , facing the Stern, when backing (reverse) in tight spots, you can just drive it like a car & you don’t have to worry or remember which way to turn the wheel to make the boat go in the opposite direction….. It’s just like going forward!

Every seaman should check the actual NAVTEX limitations for maritime traffic in the Mediterraine Sea! Additional there are many smugglers of refugees on the way!

Congratulations on the pregnancy🙂 Also congratulations on one of the longest sailing couples and to the far reaches of the planet. I am retired from 30 years in the military (US Navy) and in the USA the naval exercises are usually marked off about where they are drilling, perhaps not overseas navies. These are tales to tell and watch with your grandkids some day! Chris
