Sailing Eriskay: Cruising LIFESTYLE in Turkey rules to follow and have fun

Episode 40: Rules to Cruise by in Turkey, time for a bottom job and Black Water tank clean out in Turkey

This episode Cass and Shelly continue their adventures as they follow the rules and regulations of sailing in Turkey. Black water tanks are a strictly monitored item while sailing in Turkey. The regulations states you must keep your black water tanks closed at all times (not just in marinas or at anchor). This requires us to have our tanks pumped out. We were advised by our check in agent to pump it every 14 days. We have now been in country for 12 days and we don’t want to go over so we will pump a few days early. We haven’t done this before on the sailboat but we’re somewhat familiar with the process because of our power boating days on a lake. We show how easy it can be to pump out and still have fun. It doesn’t have to control your time cruising.
We motor in calm beautiful blue seas towards OREN Marina, get pumped out, top up our water and provision in OREN Bay before heading onto Akbuk Bay. We have calm waters so we take that opportunity to complete a few boat jobs such as scraping our bottom, scrubbing the fenders, cleaning the dinghy, rinsing and cleaning extra lines (ropes) on the boat, cut the lines off which haven’t been whipped, whip those lines and fix our cockpit light which has never functioned since we owned the boat. All of the below bays are located in the beautiful Gökova Bay in Turkey
