We made it to TURKEY! 🇹🇷 (almost full circle!! 🌏) Ep 232

We’ve almost sailed all the way around the world! In this episode, we leave Cyprus and sail north for just over 24 hours to Turkey. We get checked in, get data cards and fuel up; and get some much needed rain to give our boat a good cleanse from the Middle East sand and Red Sea salt!

I'm a merchant mariner from China, currently loading cargo in Turkey. I just wanted to say that your videos are a true inspiration for anyone who loves sailing and ocean. After sailing for years, your videos kinda remind me of why I fell in love with sailing in the first place and I feel a real connection to the adventures you're sharing with us. As a merchant mariner, I know how tough and demanding at sea can sometimes be and the challenges that come along. Thank you for sharing your journey with us. Bond voyage!

Hello Family, Rene, my Uncle Jimmy was a sailor in WWII. When I was a child he took me deep sea fishing. I was worried about being seasick as we boarded. He said, "Don't worry, I brought some pickles." So hey yeah, that is a remedy with some history. Bon voyage.

We just love Turkey. You must try and get to Dalyan when the season starts, it's a world nature site and river delta. You can anker near a protective island, then take dingy behind spit where there is a pontoon, then get a local coop taxi boat upstream to the mud baths and a great evening meal.

For sea sickness I know of people who use isopropyl alcohol wipes apparently smelling them stops the seasickness. Probably similar to the pickles but not as tasty. All the best from Halifax Nova Scotia Canada

Thanks for perpetuating the story that it always rains in Seattle. I've lived here since April 1960, at 6 weeks old. Seattle jokes? How do you tell it's Summer in Seattle? The rain is warmer. When is our Seattle Rain Festival? Jan. 1 - Dec. 31. As far as the sea sickness, one tested, tried and true mitigation? Thin slice of ginger under the tongue. Learned this the hard way. A dear friend had a Peterson 42'. We used to sail around Puget Sound, and I worked as a Paralegal in a 70-story building in dt Seattle called the Columbia Tower that had an 8' sway in any direction (seismic absorption for earthquakes). You could see the water in the commode moving, so my body was used to motion. While sailing from Mazatlan to PV 200 miles off shore, I took the sea bands off. Bad mistake. We had been at sea for several days. Dropped the hook, explored the Isla Isabella, hiked up the ridge of an inactive volcano and watched Blue Footed Boobies in their nests, 400' above sea level (with NO OSHA regs, guard rails, etc.). Hooked up w a larger yacht, a catamaran. Bigger galley. We had just caught a pretty good sized Mahi Mahi. They were preparing homemade pasta, and we were set for an amazing meal. Yum? Not! I started getting sick. Thank God that the Captain's wife had me go to our boat, and I was on the floor in the salon holding on to the 60' mast base. Thin slice of ginger under the tongue. Was much better in less than 15 minutes. Ginger tea or stir fry anyone? Of course. 👍 Hope this helps. ⚘

[@globalonemusic2381]

Renee: This is terrific. I mention this to our friends and tell the greatest observation we can make....The experiences you have provided each other and more importantly, your children, will follow them..and you for entire lives. These young people have learned to live in peace and in mild conflict.."In closed quarters". They have learned to contribute and "selflessly invest in the family unit" and take care of each other. And when you are all older, they will take care of you both. When they have their own families, they will raise them as they were raised. :) Congratulations. :) Tony

Hey Zatara. I saw a video on Sailing Doodles last week where he installed a star link on the trimaran he is using. You may want to see the video because he mentioned that Star Link was not letting yachts use the RV package but something different.

[@jllee9189]

I have been watching your videos for the past month and what I have enjoyed the most is the genuinity of your videos.

[@geoffthefarmer]

Starlink is such a game changer for boats, rvs and country areas. Weather info while at sea is so much easier and for any KZbinr it will be a total godsend.

Keith, we have had our 31’ Pacific Seacraft “Stardust” for two weeks and WOW! The surveyor was just a look over for insurance. Hot water heater shot, starboard dorad screw mount broken, haul our for cutlass bearing and bottom painting, leaking port light seals. These are the items I have discovered and in time I will find more scabs. The SSB backstay insulators are cracked this was found on the rigging survey. I knew about this. The Pacific Seecraft 2005 “Stardust” is what the wife and I wanted. She has great bones for our “fixer upper”

12:08- Sailing into the port of Finike after seeing those mountain peaks on the horizon peek out of the rain clouds reminded me of the wonder that mariners as far back as the Odyssey must have experienced. BTW, Finike's original name was 'Phoenix' and the port was evidently founded by the Phoenicians (who named it for themselves). Thanks for sharing those views with us and I hope the rest of your journey is smooth!

I have Star link, and I love it. Had horrible wind in northern Ohio this week. Many people lost power or internet for days. You set it up with the app on your phone. And you can buy a hard line adapter , or another mesh wifi router to really boost signal coverage. And speeds are great.

2.9K+ subscriber LIKE; 22,583rd desktop travel-mate view gonna have to happen later... looks like fun. 'Cheap gas' around SoCal has been $4.80... up to over $6 per gallon. 4:21 - very interesting and good-to-know tip about "the pickle remedy" for motion sickness. Hadn't heard that one before.

[@radekdrayco]

Funny that Keith mentions Peplink. I was just looking at their different models, trying to decide which is just right for me. Some allow for 2 Starlink Dishes to be connected. That catch is that its 2 subscriptions, one for each dish. So 2x the monthly cost, but likely 2x the speed or just more reliable. Looking forward to Keith doing a How-To install of it.

QUESTION: Over the years, as I've watched other sailing channels, I noticed that whenever there was fresh rain everybody would jump on deck with scrub brushes and start cleaning the deck whether they felt like it or not. As soon as you got the fresh rain in Turkey I expected everybody to do that but it didn't happen, and I was just curious why that was? This seems to be a pretty universal approach, and I was just wondering if you guys have a preferred way of cleaning the deck that doesn't involve scrubbing in the rain?

[@SailingZatara]

Ughhh it should have happened!! Our crew is not the most proactive! Gotta work on that…..
