How Can I Build Electronic Bowlercade

The Dardanelles: the pursuit of fast-running meda

From Mithimna Bozcada back-hauled to the wind to land at night in the first island in Turkey, after many Greek islands.
calm and order, welcomed us with kindness mooring at sunset and the prayer of the muezzin, which establishes the end of the day of fasting. We are in the ninth month of Islamic calendar, the month of Ramadan.

The next day towards the Dardanelles, with expectation, curiosity and careful respect for the sailing conditions which are not used: traffic, contrary to current and restricted waters.


The first part in sailing, but almost immediately starts the engine and sail along the coast line to reduce the effect of counter-current. Of up to three knots and Fair Wind effort in pursuit of a beacon that does not seem to be joined.
Meanwhile, ship traffic alternating cross flow uphill than downhill, and arrive in late afternoon Cannakale in time for the sunset prayer of the muezzin. A

Cannakale the morning passes by the practices of entry in Turkey, complex but not impossible to do. Much better, cheaper and, above all, do it yourself, rather than acquiesce to the exorbitant demands of agents who offer to make them for you.
Complete the practices, we can use the afternoon to continue the ascent of the Dardanelles and stop for the night just before the entrance to the Sea of \u200b\u200bMarmara.

the European coast of the Sea of \u200b\u200bMarmara Port offers some opportunities to stop sailing to Istanbul. The conditions are hard, but not prohibitive. The sea is more size than the strength of the wind can justify, also appear in the next few days. We think it is due to the small size of this sea and the effect of the current flowing from the Black Sea through the Bosporus, reaching to the Dardanelles, and flows like a river in the Aegean.

We go up to windward coast and do the Kumbag first stop in a fishing port, where we are greeted with sympathy and curiosity. Must be a few pleasure boats that make this route this season.


Another section the next day brings us to the wide and quiet port of Silivri. Hence we complete the path to land in the marina Atakoi of Istanbul, near the airport, arriving just when the show is about to begin the acrobatic team of Turkey. In training and Tricolour Arrows with numbers, over our heads seem to welcome us and celebrate with us the arrival at the destination of our cruise: Constantinople.
