We are racing at more than 8 KNOTS! SV CUBA has made it to Turkey but we are not stopping now as our sailing adventure takes us around the many beautiful peninsulas. We are trying to find an anchorage before it gets dark and tuck into a small bay close to Bodrum.

The next morning, we are met with a surprise: We are anchored right on top of some ancient relics! We were lucky, our anchor chain did not roll right over the vase.

Oh dear, now let’s just pull up the anchor and get out of here before we get into trouble. As we rush to find a new place to anchor, we almost run aground in a long inlet on the Datca peninsula so we decide to move on.

In the evening we arrive in Selimiye but a small motorboat drifts closer and closer to us and we are once again forced to pull up the hook. This time, however, all our instruments in the cockpit are dead. Luckily Enrique knows how to turn into Mac Gyver and manages to find out what the fault is. To get our instruments to work in the meantime he fabricates a fuse out of a piece of cable and we can once again sail away!
