QOTD

"Each of us is all the sums he has not counted: subtract us into nakedness and night again, and you shall see begin in Crete four thousand years ago... Each moment is the fruit of forty thousand years. The minute-winning days, like flies, buzz home to death, and every moment is a window on all time. -Thomas Wolfe, Look Homeward Angel

Wintering in Turkey

Marmaris Yacht Marina is a very economical Marina for wintering "on-the-hard." Here's why: 1). As you can see from the first photo: No need to rent a cradle! 2). And as you can see from the satellite photo, they really pack in the boats! Launch is clearly on a Last-in, First-out basis so if you miss your launch date expect big fees to move you around and reshuffle.
