Moorings Officer at Marconi rang Mrs FC to offer us a mooring, but we have to hurry, as the laying party is in the next couple of weekends.
Offer accepted on the spot
Quick dash round to buy:
2 x 70lb Danforths, Maldon Marine
1 Large Mooring buoy, Dauntless
1 Pick up buoy Dauntless
3 Mooring Strops, Dunno yet
1 Length of 10mm chain as I am away a lot at the moment, Dauntless
43m of Chain and Shackles - Marconi Club stock
So an unexpected 900 quid hole in the budget, but I have a mooring, Yay!!!
A bit of a rush round, and my only opportunity is weekend of 28th/29th, I am still working in foreign climes next weekend.
Full Circle will get to its new home mid June I hope.
Result!!

what about setting up a little camera and a link to the outside world so that you can log on when in Turkey and watch the seals go by ?
A result indeed. Freedom!I think, therefore I am. I am, therefore I sail.
