| The next morning we headed around Cape Krio at the tip of the peninsula. As the northern winds were still prevalent, we timed our arrival at the cape just perfectly with the help of our weatherman, Phil�s brother John. With our arrival, we had traveled a total of 40 nautical miles and 10 days along the southern coastline of the Datca Peninsula. |
 |
| Once around the cape we entered the Gokova Gulf. With the northerly winds finally starting to pick up, we had a fantastic wing-on-wing sail east, 34 nautical miles, down this deep and long gulf to Kucuk Cati, a small beautifully wooded cove near the Turkish mainland. As there were no protected anchorages along most of the northern coast of the Datca Peninsula, Kucuk Cati was one of the first places to drop the anchor. |
 |
| We spent 8 days in the rugged eastern part of the Gokova Gulf, traveling just 20 nautical miles and enjoying 4 different remote, pine-clad anchorages: Kucuk Cati, East Creek and North Cove in Yedi Adalari, and English Harbor. All were beautiful, but the inlet called English Harbor was the gem, especially as it provided excellent all-round shelter. With the fall season approaching, the weather and winds had become more changeable, and this was a welcomed anchorage. During World War II the British Special Boat Squadron had used this inlet, hence the name. |
