David's Diary: Friday, April 16, 2004

Checking Out of Turkey

Yesterday, Marian arrived from Saudi Arabia. She arrived mid-morning and helped me with numerous projects. We had dinner together onboard Dragonsinger and in the middle of dinner Bruce arrived after traveling from Vancouver.

Today we went for a walk in the hills surrounding the marina. We took in the fantastic views of the Mediterranean, before heading back to Dragonsinger to finish the last few boat projects. I checked the boat and the crew out of Turkey, a tedious process. On the way back to the marina, I watched a parade in the oldest part of Bodrum. We completed our final grocery shopping and had a final dinner at Sunger Pizza during our last night in Bodrum.
