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
