Hi All,

s/v Amanin, Amel 54 no.164, has just completed her first singlehanded circumnavigation, and arrived at her home mooring in Datca, Turkey.

Main ports of the journey were, Knidos (Turkey, Nov 2012), Gozo, Smir, La Palma, Martinique, Panama, Nuku Hiva, Tuamotu Atolls, Tahiti, Moorea, Bora-Bora, Cook Islands, Tonga, Fiji, New Caledonia, Thursday Island, Darwin, Christmas Island, Reunion, Port Elizabeth, Cape Town, Mindelo, La Palma, Smir, Gozo, Datca (Turkey, May 2014).

I am thankful to the stubborn but good people of Amel Boatyard, for building this fantastic boat for me, who  handled many situations gracefully, and transformed potential misery to pleasure.

I am also grateful to Rıza, of Emekmarine, Gocek, for his 7/24 online technical support, through some bizzare timezone differences.

Fair winds to you all,

Haldun Karagoz

Thanks everybody. I did not write a blog, but i made videoblogs about the passages and the places, which i sent to family and friends on sd cards plastered on postcards. There are some 200 gigabytes of them, and they are in Turkish language. I will upload some of them on a website to share with others. Thanks again for the kind remarks.

Cheers,

Haldun
