Day 7 - topdeck Turkey Explorer.
Today we are heading out onto the water for a day sailing around the coast off Fethiye. We set off a little after 10am for the beach. It is a perfect day for the water with a nice warm temperature. We jumped on board and sailed for an hour before the first stop. This was near a little island we could walk around. Other from the group jumped off from the top deck of the boat by I enter via the ladder. The water is cold. You have to keep moving around to stay warm and try to avoid the freezing patches of water. After quick swim and a walk up and around the little island we lifted anchor and sailed again for close to an hour. We stopped and guys pulled up along side the boat offering jet ski rides. I went out for 15 min with another guy from the tour and the jetski driver. Was heaps of fun we both got to have a go driving and got up to 50km/h. Was good to try and was such a nice day out on the water. Once off the jet ski we had a BBQ lunch with some yum salads. Was good food but had to have a lay down afterwards before going back in the water. We then sailed around to a small cove were local were jumping off rocks high up on the island. Our group had to settle for jumping off the boat into the water. We then headed to gold water bay which has claims that swimming in the water for 10 mins will make you 10 years younger... It was a difficult task as the water was so cold and I think maybe that is how the younger process works by freezing you. We swam there for a short time before sailing back to shore.
Back at the hotel the water slide was open and had a blast sliding down. I was lucky that my swimmers were shinny and slippery so I was able to go fast enough down the slide.... Many others in the group kept getting stuck. After more than a dozen goes on the slide it was time to head inside and shower. The ocean water was very salty so was desperate for a shower and hair wash.
We headed out for dinner in the local town. It was good to have a nice steak and salad for dinner. Was able to have a quick look at the shop after dinner on the way to the bus back to the hotel.
