We left the bay around 7 a.m. and motored to Ciftlik, the wind all over the place and gusting 20 knots at times.  We went stern to the wooden jetty at Alarga Yacht pontoon.  This place has changed since we were last here, they have gone from a 25 room hotel to an 8 room boutique hotel.  The rooms which were around the swimming pool have been demolished, apparently they had no planning permission.  It was very quiet but we were not complaining as we relaxed on the sun loungers, the water here was much cooler than we have been used to of late.  The other pontoons in the bay were very busy with two lots of charter boats arriving throughout the day.  The meal in the evening was very nice and the wind blew most of the night from the west – ear plugs in as the waves slapped up the back of the boat.
