Well this is certainly not the video we expected to bring you this week but
sometimes s#$% happens! As we mentioned in last week's video we've discovered that
we have a major audio issue with the Sony camera and when we came to review
the footage that we were going to put into this week's video we noticed that
the audio was even worse than it had been and basically it rendered most of
our footage unusable in an audio sense. We were quite happy to use the video
footage and do voiceovers to lay over the top but just as we were about to
begin editing the video earlier this week the hard drive where all the raw footage
is stored decided to have a nervous breakdown and we lost all of the footage
All of the footage Well not everything because I was
working on one little segment and that was of the Turkish Republic Day
celebrations so we've still got that. Yeah so we will bring you that in this week's
episode it is very good it's a lot of fun we had a great time but just to
bring you up to date to where we are we arrived into the bay where Kaş marina
is maybe three weeks ago, four weeks ago? Yeah. Ssomething like that and we've been there
for a while. We had a couple of things fixed on the boat and I'll show you the
end results, I obviously can't show you the fixing but I'll show you the end result
of the fixing and now we've actually moved around the headland to Kaş harbour
in the old town it's very nice. We're in a temporary berth just near the entrance
to the harbour and I think next week sometime we're going to be moving
further into the harbour to a stern to berth for pretty much the
winter months. Yep and it'll have lazy lines and it'll be a lot more sheltered. Yes it will
All is not lost! Kaş itself is a beautiful town seeped in history. It's
part - a major part of the Lycian Way and there are tombs everywhere and these
tombs date back to 200 years 300 years BC and also an amphitheatre and an old
Hellenistic temple, oh yes ruins, yeah yeah really it's a really
interesting little place and it's got some beautiful quaint very picturesque
streets. And the people are very nice and friendly and helpful too which is what
we've found all throughout Turkey so far wherever we've been. Anyway join us as we
celebrate Turkish Republic day
Today is the 29th of October and that's a very special date here in Turkey
because in 1923 on the 29th of October Turkey won the war of independence
against the Ottoman Empire and their leader at the time Mustafa Kemal Atatürk
was the first president of the newly formed Republic of Turkey and tonight
everybody in Kaş town and ourselves are gonna paint the town red. It's gonna be a
lot of fun!
Here we are waiting for the big red flag.
I think there might be a bit more than just a big red flag. We're expecting the
parade to come down the street and once it passes
buy and gets to the port area then the festivities can officially begin.
Yes looking forward to that. Lots of
beer drinking or actually we're going to be drinking rakı, rakı - my new favorite drink
It's like er ouzo. It's like ouzo but smoother. Yes I think it is
And now we must go and eat drink and be merry
Sounds like a plan hey Phil? Sounds like a plan!
Well here we are at the restaurant of our choice
for tonight on Turkish Republic Day it's called Çınarlar and there's a
whole load of boaties with us and we've just been sort of like served a mezze
plate of various dips and things that you just break off a bit of bread throw it
in and eat your heart's content. We're main main coursing with a seafood
platter to share. But this is looking pretty good.
I died and went to heaven! Food heaven.
So we're just having a small small seafood platter between us. Yum!
Wow look at that!
Oh yeah that's gonna keep us busy. That's amazing isn't it? Enjoy!
Bring them back let 'em play
I think the waiter got outvoted there somehow
So how good was that? It was a great night out. Before we show you around
Kaş town we're just stopping for a light lunch our favorite doner durum
joint where the guy has one big hunk of meat and he opens his doors and he cooks his
meat and he sells his meat in this form and other forms and then when it's sold out
that's it - days over - closes the doors and goes home. These are fantastic. The best!
especially with the little chillies that Aannsha's fallen in love with YUM
Yirmi yedi? (27TL?)
Just behind me is where A B Sea is currently tied up alongside in the harbour - she
looks quite small compared to some of the big gullets that she's berthing with
um but later on as we mentioned we're gonna be moving on to this side and
we'll be coming stern to once some more of these DayTripper boats get taken out
for the winter where they will have maintenance and all the usual bits and
pieces that you need to do to a wooden boat, done
Here's probably one of the better examples of the tombs that are dotted
along the Lyceum Way.This tomb here is massive, fairly well-preserved and it
dates back to the 4th century BC so 2400 years old. It's in pretty good nick for its age
And this tomb is just one of many hundreds and hundreds that are dotted all around
this area. It's just so fascinating and we're going to learn a lot more about it
when we have a look at the amphitheatre and the Hellenistic temple.
To be honest
I wasn't really that upset at losing all the footage from the hard drive
There was one segment however that we filmed that I was really really looking
forward to bringing you. It was a bit where I went to get a haircut and a
shave and a massage and an ear wax at a
Turkish barber shop. But it was so good I'm looking forward to growing my beard
again and then going back and doing it all again because I really think it's
something that you'll find pretty good and I want to share it with you so
that's coming up in another video in a couple of weeks time.
Next week on sailing A B Sea we check out the ancient amphitheatre and the ruins
of a Hellenistic temple and we show you some of the to-do lists jobs that we've
already completed. If you've enjoyed this video do give us a thumbs up and
subscribe and ding that bell if you want to be notified of future videos
