Hello dear,I'm Melinda by name, this is Important please email me back at (melinda3b3@hotmail.com)thanks,I will be waiting to hear from you soon.
Hello David: thank you for your friend invitation which I accepted. I did some sailing along the coast of Turkey about 7 yrs ago with a gal from California who was living aboard her Nautilus 39 in Marmaris, Turkey. Is a wonderful marina & lovely town. Although I kept trying, sadly have lost touch with her but continue to try to search her down. Would like to hear from you & see what I can add....sounds you are planning on heading that way....dianne
