The sea was like glass as we enjoyed a brunch of bacon sarnies on the way. An early start and both yachts set off, destination Bodrum, to the southeast in the Carian Sea. Findochty Water Sports Club 1,2 and 3. Entering the harbour was pretty scary as the berthing plan had changed yet again and the wind was gusting and blowing the boats anywhere other than their intended mooring. Saturday arrived overcast with little wind, I was unable to follow the action in my own boat as it was stuck in Findochty, high and dry, so I was invited to join the lifeboat for the morning. A slow wander around the harbour area was followed by an excellent kipper lunch.

Strops were readied and hands held lines. We entered the bay and anchored in the southern end for lunch and swimming. The weather was warm and sunny but unfortunately there was hardly a puff of wind and the arrival of the Buckie Lifeboat at the race start line caused a bit of a surge, which resulted in Kentra struggling to get over the start line. The youngest crew member asked his mentor if this was "a shout".
Although I did not leave the pontoon more than three times, this winter, I benefited by having my mast up, which allowed me to completely change the running rigging.

The racing was well attended and the cruiser race turned out to be a pretty long distance passage race triangular course from Portsoy harbour to the quarry east of Portsoy, then a mile north to seaward, round mark 2, then back to Portsoy and through the start gate. Wine, beer and whisky in reverse order was consumed as we waited for our shepherds pie to heat up in the oven. It is an acronym from it's days as a fisherman's dwsc shelter.
We arrived in the inner Moray Firth in a flat calm and had light head winds down Loch Ness whilst we lunched on pizzas. You just canna get the crew nowadays!!!!!! Banff Sailing Club was celebrating the anniversary of the opening of their new marina and we were invited along by Gordon Maitland to join in with the fun. We moored up in Bodrum Milta Marina for the evening.
Banff Sailing Club opened their clubhouse that evening and they put on a lovely buffet for the sailors. Our big red buoy fenders we use for the canal were deflated as we motored along and stored in the forepeak under eong bunks. On arrival, we called Jim Henderson, the new harbourmaster, on the radio and he came along and assisted us to moor up and filled us in with the domestics.
We declined to join them at their loud Turkish disco which they were holding on board or on the jet ski that appeared as if by magic. Fusion II soon took the lead and held it all the way, passing the second mark as the other yachts rounded the first mark. Dwsc log was reading above the theoretical hull speed hovering around 8 knots, the highest I saw on the plotter was 9. The skippers prize giving on Saturday evening was well attended and we were given lovely helpings of Cullen Skink and trifle, courtesy of Downies Fish Co.
I thoroughly enjoyed my holiday and in my opinion these were the best sailing conditions of my three sailing fwwc in Turkey so far.
The passage seemed to take forever but we eventually crossed the finish line hard on the heels of Joker, a larger, higher handicap, yacht than Kentra songg Kentra fqsc the race in class 2. We unpacked and chilled out for a while then after showering, headed for the Windmill restaurant at Yalikavak fishing harbour where we had an excellent dinner and discussed our plans for the week ahead. The paving needs completing and the edges need tidying and planting with suitable plants.
Surprisingly, with these steep waves, we only received a soaking a couple of times after slapping into the face of a wave. We set a half rolled genoa, leaving the main down and were moving at the hull speed of 6 knots. I had to leave at this point to head for Findochty to photograph the finish of the passage race. Solan, Sparkle and Bramble departed at about 12 noon. They really do put in such an effort into their social calendar and they are very welcoming indeed to visitors, the hospitality was second to none and I sure that Findochty Water Sports Club will manage to direct a cruise or two towards Banff this summer.
The evening was ended by the Irish bandThe Raparees. A number of other "boats" had arrived as we sailed although no more boats ventured out. Und in einem schwierigen Moment warst du da und hast mir geholfen. On Saturday 20th April the crane was booked and the lifts commenced.

Later the real transformation will take place, with a proposed kitchen, shower room and toilet. While one group dug post holes, another cleared the area of weeds and surplus hardcore. I really enjoyed my weekend and I was very proud to be a small part of Kentra's crew.
Maybe some of our club somg will be tempted to try a sunny sailing holiday after reading my story………….
