This week we leave Gocek, a special place in Turkey for us as it's where we purchased Kawai and met some wonderful friends. It's sad to leave but with great winds forecast we would sail to Marmaris then onto Datca where we would explore.
The Meltemi blows from the North throughout summer so we look for a window where we can get some good sailing in. The previous day had little wind so we expect small swell and strong winds which makes for great sailing. The winds over both days range from 8 to 28 knots which is perfect and we have fun testing our sailing skills.
We anchor off a little town called Aktur, which is 11nm East of Datca. This is a fantastic base for provisioning and has a protected anchorage for when the winds blow from the North. The town has markets that run on a Monday, Wednesday and Friday that are worth a visit.
Update
We haven't posted for a while as we have had some bad luck. Trace and I both caught Covid and this affected Traces voice which meant no voice-overs. Trace also broke her foot in the last 2 weeks, so we have been focussing on sorting it as it requires surgery.
About us:
Our names are Jason and Tracey and we traded our house, cars, business, job and security for freedom, adventure, travel and living simply amongst nature and the seas on our 45 foot Hanse 445 sailing boat, Kawai.
We don't know exactly where the winds will take us at this stage but over the last couple years we have sailed to Turkey, Greece, Montenegro, Croatia.
Jase loves making travel videos and we decided to upload to youtube to share our adventure. We really hope you enjoy and feel free to drop us a comment any time to chat or subscribe to follow along :)

Hi Mr Stephen’s 🤫🧏♂️
Hi Mr stephens
Awesome! Thanks for inspiring videos..
Our pleasure, thanks so much and glad you enjoyed it!
hello guys, I just found your channel and I love it - I hope you will continue with showing us your journey.
All best wishes!
Terrific to enjoy another great episode. Go well.
Cheers Chris, always great to hear from you and glad you enjoyed it!
Greetings from British Columbia, Canada! So great to see another Hanse! We have a 415 and love it. Cheers from Barlovento Sailing.
Hey guys! Great to hear from you :). Yes, we love our Hanse, hope you enjoyed the videos! Take care
Hi guys, this is Peter here just checking to see how you are all doing and hopefully you are in good health and safe.
Best Peter ❤
Hi Peter, sorry for the slow reply. We enjoyed the 2022 season :). Unfortunately Trace broke her foot and needed surgery, she has just had her last surgery to remove plates. We decided while in Australia to sell Kawai and will purchase again in the future but also had a business opportunity we wished to pursue. We still have 10 videos to complete but are both working full time and will complete soonish. Hope that helps and hope you are loving life :)
Just want to say thanks for a great video, but also thanks for the month you were sailing. As that helps us all understand the conditions vs month. Cheers
Thanks so much, happy to help :). Glad it allows others to plan their trips. Enjoy!
:)
Any advice on sailing from Athens in May. Also how do you know if a marina has laid lines for mooring up and not needing anchor out and sternlines
Nice routine, Turkey looks like a great place to explore!

Great to see you supporting the Kiwi cricketers 😂
Hahaha well it was a gift from Will who was is the previous video, he plays cricket for NZ so I had to wear it haha, bad timing with the recent result haha
Hey there, we did the same passage about a month ago but the other way around. Hope our paths will cross one day.
Hey guys, how are you finding Turkey? We are now in Greece but really enjoyed our time. Hope all is well and yes hopefully we cross paths next season :)
Thanks for another lovely vid. I did this same route in the Spring. You have reminded me how much I am missing Turkey. Are you wintering the boat in Marmaris YM again?
Hey Bill, we are actually pretty far behind in our videos, we have her wintered in Kalamata Marina Greece currently. We had another amazing season, very lucky :). Hope you are well!
@@SailingKawai I've had my eye on the Kalamata marina. I hope you make some mention of what you think of it in a future video. Have a good winter, I assume you will be back on the Gold Coast.
Great video as always hope to do the same in a little over two years. Might have some questions for you as I get closer.
Hey Chris, glad you enjoyed it mate. No problems at all, happy to answer any questions you have :)
Greetings from British Columbia, Canada! So great to see another Hanse sailing channel! We have a 415 and love it. Cheers from Barlovento Sailing.
Cheers guys :)
Hi where are you now? I wish you are good.
Miss your videos - hurry up and buy another boat ya clowns
Also hope foot is on the mend
Did they quit? Anyone know what happened?
Hey guys, we haven't quit, had some bad luck and a slight life change. We enjoyed the 2022 season :). Unfortunately Trace broke her foot and needed surgery, she has just had her last surgery to remove plates. We decided while in Australia to sell Kawai and will purchase again in the future but also had a business opportunity we wished to pursue. We still have 10 videos to complete but are both working full time and will complete soonish. Hope that helps and hope you are loving life :)
@@SailingKawai Hope the foot is recovering. Please do post more video's; we have just got into them and really love them. They are very informative, fun and well made - keep them coming.
Great video. Hopefully everything goes well with the foot.
Thanks Michael, appreciate it mate! Glad you enjoyed the video :)
