A different sort of day... restful! And it "flew" by, despite the fact that we were "doing nothing" apart from cruising from "a" to "b". At 6:40am local time (3:40 Zulu), we were cruising along at 11 mph, already about 70 miles NW of Kusadasi. Up the west side of the Aegean, entering the Dardanelles about 10am. Entered Sea of Marmara about 5:45. 10:30pm saw us just north of Marmara Island. My next GPS reading was at 5:45 the following morning, as we were heading into Istanbul. We were about 5 miles south of the Hagia Sophia at that time. Docked just northeast of the Galata Bridge at 6:45.

Photos mostly taken in Dardanelles and Sea of Marmara.
