Turkey’s Blue Card Scheme: a crappy solution to a shitty problem
Fethiye, Turkey When we first checked into Turkey two years ago, we were told that we had to purchase a Blue Card....
Our anchor appears to be working again, setting on the first try!
When we were in the Caribbean, I had commented that the French boats tended to anchor very close, too close in most cases. While the captains appeared very competent, they would always try to squeeze into a space like parallel parking a car.
Well now that we are in France it is totally different, the French boats anchor way off, and do not try to squeeze into tight spaces.
So what’s the difference?
I can only assume it is that they are anchoring their personal boats and not a chartered boat. Whatever the reason, everyone has been very cautious and courteous. And as one of the only American flagged boats around, we get a lot of interest and questions.
