The high seas

Tomorrow will be my third ferry ride in as many days, heading to an island in the Aegean for a few days of beach camping, and hopefully, sunshine. Turkish ferries are privatized, and I spent a chunk of my daily budget to cross the sea of Marmara on a fast boat rather than riding around it on a slow bus ($25 to walk on, $100 per vehicle). Let's all take a moment to silently thank the NCDOT for affordable access to Ocracoke Island.

I found myself wondering it's always this windy in Turkey, before I remembered that, yes, it's windy by the sea, and no, it's not always this windy. I love being a tourist!
