I received lots of great responses to the last newsletter I sent out, but the question that intrigued me the most was in reference to the fact that I have been living as an expat for the past five years. The question was . . . Why Turkey? Like many Americans, before I ever visited this country, I had no idea what it was like. My first inkling of how fascinating it could be came from my Aussie friends Carol and Terry Hogan who wintered over here in Finike Marina aboard their Catalina 42
Hi Christine ~ thank you so much for Cross Current, I look forward to diving in. As a former Ft Lauderdale-ite, I can vicariously visit my old hometown and have a great story to read, as well. I worked on boats in the early 80's so I know the waterways and still my favorite watering hole, the Downtowner (also worked at Shirttail Charlie's for 10 years, the DT was our happy hour spot). I am so happy that you're building a boat and enjoying your time in Turkey. I definitely am putting it on my bucket list, it looks beautiful and a joyous place to expat, or just visit! Someday....*sigh*
As you now have your sights on future adventures and travel in your boat, it is a perfect time to look back and reflect on how you got started building boat in Turkey. You are reaching a crossroad.
