Instead of settling down in Finike for the winter, we are preparing to pack up the boat and leave Turkey for Devon. We’ve just back from our last swim when we fed limpets to an octopus that’s taken up residence in a rock crevice on the seaward side of the harbour wall. He extends a sinuous tentacle and delicately scoops up the limpet before whipping it back into his lair. Yesterday we spotted an extraordinary sea slug that must have been designed by Zandra Rhodes. It had a white frilled skirt with yellow polka dots and purple tassels.
It’s a wrench to leave. We’ll miss the camaraderie of the other cruisers in Finike, the sunshine and the new season’s oranges, but we’re returning home to spend some time with Cathy’s parents who are getting increasingly frail.
We’ve rented a tiny holiday cottage on Dartmoor until the end of the year. If any of you are passing through, do get in touch. We’d love to see you.
Since we’ll be in the UK, we’re signing off the blog until next spring when we hope you’ll join us again.
