Tour of Turkey in Turgutreis

We are in Turgutreis, which is a nice little spot, it is worth a little extra money to stay at the fancy D-Marine Marina. We usually anchor out, which is free of course, so a splurge is OK to do now and again. Kids are loving the pool (which is warm enough to get in) and we're catching up on laundry, saunas, and fresh water.  There is a supermarket right across the street and a great little shopping mall with Turkish clothing, homewares, and sailing stores and other fun stuff.  

 

We're' camped out' here for 2 days so both Code and I can work.  I had great feedback on my report, but also lots of things to address by Monday.  Then I will get a chance to slow down a bit.

 

Oh, and we saw the Cycling Tour of Turkey, which is an international bike race around Turkey.  Very exciting indeed.  We were right at the finish line and the kids were so excited to see the finish and all the hubbub of race finishers, too.  They have a huge screen set up to watch the cyclists on their way in, too. The stage we saw was from Marmaris to Turgutreis, which is 178 km.  They also show scenes around Turkey and shots from the helicopter above...it made Turkey look so beautiful...which it is.   A funny moment was when we looked up at the screen, the camera was focused on Graeme.  There we was, bigger than life with his cool shades on, watching the race.  Too hilarious.  Aethan just rolled his eyes as usual.
