We went ashore to get the required hoses for the toilet as they fill up with limescale very quickly. A nasty job waiting for Svein particularly as the temperatures are rising quickly. Svein took our shopping back to the boat whilst Caryn waited at the restaurant. This took some time as the outboard (which was nearly 20 years old) decided to die on him on the return journey so he had to row ashore. We took the decision to buy a new Tohatsu outboard. We got a very good price and if all goes well we should be able to get the VAT back (along with that of our other purchases) when we leave Turkey. Hopefully the bank balance will not look so gloomy in the end but we have managed to invest wisely whilst here. We treated ourselves to a delicious fish lunch at half the price of our fateful dinner and then back to the boat to cool down (temperatures nearing 40 on the water).

We stayin in Gocek an extra day in order to visit the market. It was certainly worth the effort and we managed to buy goodies for Svein to take back to Norway. We also  got  the washing done. Svein installed the new toilet hose and we returned to town in the evening to enjoy another fish dinner. Bed early for both of us for once.

We left Gocek early and headed east on our way to Kas. Pictures
