Adventures on the high seas. We are leaving Kushadasi, sitting at the dinner table when the captain announced that there was an emergency and we had to assist the ship at sea. It turns out it was a small fishing boat that had caught on fire. And in the international waters tradition, according to Bill, when a ship is in trouble the nearest vessel goes to it's assistance.
When we got there the ship was in Greek waters and so they contacted the Greek Coast Guard. While we were standing by, all of a sudden the ship drifted into Turkish waters and the Greeks said it has nothing to do with it so we had to contact the Turkish Coast Guard.
To make a long story short, they straightened it out; the correct Coast Guard was on its way and we continued on our journey to Istanbul. Something new every day.
