Fay's birthday in Turkey Mar/Apr 2010, with 4 videos

01. At last we get Piers and Fay on board – in the flesh! After relaunching Deep Blue in Marmaris

01. Morning swims begin ... well for some of us

01. We're all here in Turkey for Fay’s 20th birthday – aaah!

01. We spent that whole day in Fethiye – Fay’s holding a tortoise. Fay’s super friend Elena on the left.

01. I’d been saving this up to take Fay to the fish market for a v. special dinner

01. Then on to a nargile bar, where we met Mamoud who took a shine to us; well, the girls!

01. Then on again with Mamoud to a great little night club, full of girls, and this amazingly good and very friendly Turkish musician – lots of dancing!

01. A couple of days later we walked up and over to Kayakoy – the deserted Greek town.

01. Then on to Olu Deniz for paragliding for Fay, Elena and me

01. A fantastic experience, tandem jumping off at 6500ft and landing on the beach by Deep Blue at anchor...

...my pilot was very experienced, happily!

01. Back into Fethiye to collect Immy, Fay’s other super friend from home. A rather scary feast of pomegranate

01. Then down to the beautiful national park and some of our favourite anchorages – Lycian tombs ...

01. ... Above Tomb Bay

01. We so loved being back on Deep Blue again, with such lively company

01. The girls delight in their surroundings – a tortoise poses for Immy

01. Piers took this great shot – captured joy and innocence!

01. A happy atmosphere with 6 of us on board.

01. Last dinner away from the marina in Marmaris, in a very expensive restaurant we found – free mooring if we eat. We just had starters!

Piers assumed this dubious appearance before he headed off for Norway and me home. A really great 2 weeks together. Very special! With some of my most absolutely favourite people!!

Here's some paragliding footage - awesome!
