Tomb-Bay to Gocek to Yassica Adalari (about 5 miles total)



In the morning at Tomb Bay we got up early, untied our stern line from the bollard ashore and lifted anchor. We wanted to visit Gocek to get some provisions. We anchored out and took the dinghy in. We had breakfast, the ladies each had omelettes, Ross and I opted for something called a ‘Turkish Breakfast’ that turned out to be lots of bread, a bowl of strawberry syrupy/jam, a bowl of honey, a couple of fried eggs, a plate of sliced fried sausages, and a plate of sliced tomato and cucumber. Quite a breakfast indeed. The honey here is outstanding …. It seems more flavourful than what we get at home … more research is required as to how and why this might be the case.


After provisioning, buying some boat parts, groceries and filling up with fuel, we headed about 1.5 miles to the small archipelago of Yassica Adalari – which looks beautiful from the aerial photo, but the sand bar is more like a ‘rock bar’. We had a swim, Ross explored the area, and settled in for the night. We spent a few hours listening to ‘The Help’ and enjoying the book immensely.
