Welcome to Kas, Turkey

Finally, finally, finally!  It is good to see Talaria again - its been a long time.  Although, we are grateful that we were able to get to our boat as many other people are not able to return to their boats.  Covid, Covid, Covid!   Kas is a lovely little town with a population of around 7000.  We rented an apartment for a month while we work on Talaria and it is about a 15 minute walk from the apartment to the marina.

The walk to the marina is pleasant as its all downhill but coming back...😏.  Lets just say our legs are getting a much needed workout.  No complaints however ... the temperature most days is high 60s or 70s and sunny.  The locals think its winter and cold but we are very, very comfortable.

 Life is apparently not the same in Kas, as with the rest of the world they are trying to mitigate the spread of Covid.  That means that restaurants are carry out only and on the weekends and week night evenings there is a curfew.  Masks are mandated and you will be fined for non-compliance.  Hopefully, things will get better soon.  Overall the Covid risk in Kas is low but we are still being careful.

 We just walk to the marina and work all day, then walk back to the apartment to cook dinner and collapse!  Boats are like houses and need constant maintenance (maybe even more maintenance than a house) so a year of neglect really shows.  But after a week we are starting to see maybe a trickle of light at the end of the tunnel😊.   Life is good!
