Turkey’s Turquoise Coast with Rudy Maxa March 2nd, 2009 • by Matt Holmes Cruising the Turquoise Coast – The Perfect Cure for the Winter Blues As we brace for another winter storm here along the east coast, our thoughts often turn towards warmer far off adventures. March is the time of year in Vermont when we begin to hope that spring is not too distant, although we always know that it is. With daylight savings time next weekend adding another tease at a hint of spring, but with no real end in sight, we often live vicariously through our guests traveling around the world. In March we will have Boundless Journeys’ guests traveling to many beautifully warm, even hot, destinations such as: Morocco, Tanzania, Bhutan, Indochina, India, Costa Rica, and the deliciously tropical Palau. This video I recently came across of cruising Turkey’s Turquoise Coast on a traditional sailing gullet provided just the escape I needed after reading the weather forecasts. The Turquoise Coast, at the meeting of the Aegean and Mediterranean seas, is dotted with islands and rife with mythological history. The azure waters here invite you to explore with days spent snorkeling, swimming, or discovering the dazzlingly beautiful coves and hidden villages along the coastline. Perhaps you also need a five minute getaway? Take a quick trip through this video, and then join Boundless Journeys on our Turkey: Istanbul to the Turquoise Coast trip, September 8-20, 2009; or charter a gullet for just you and your friends and family with our Private Collection, Turkey: Istanbul to the Turquoise Coast. “So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” – Mark
