Morning Walk in Fethiye Marina

During our recent trip to Fethiye, I took a walk along the Fethiye Marina while Jason went for a run.

The Yacht Boutique Hotel, where we were staying, was perfectly located along the marina and just a five-minute walk away from the downtown area. (BTW, I chose this hotel based on my blogging friends� recommendations over at Turkey�s for Life.)

The weather could not have been better. The sun was shining. The morning air was a little crisp, but soon warmed up.

Of course, I left the camera back in our hotel room because my main purpose was to get some exercise. After breakfast, we returned so I could take some photos of the boats docked nearby.

And this is what I found....

I�ve never seen a large sailboat being made like this one we found here in the Fethiye Marina. I was impressed by how the boat was taking shape. I wonder how long it takes to complete one like this. Does anyone know?

Jason wanted to know the length of the boat so he started pacing it out by foot. A Turkish man walked by and said in English �42 meters.�

How funny! He knew exactly what we wanted to know! Of course, I�m sure it might have seemed a little strange to have two yabancilar taking photos up-close of these sailboats.

Oh well! I enjoyed myself while we explored the marina area.

Next stop: �l�deniz.
More sailboats docked nearby.
