    I dragged on one of the laid moorings in about ten kts of wind…I don’t know what they are using to hold to the bottom–but in any case I tied on, the wind came up and the mooring dragged rather quickly…disconcerting…I would not use these moorings again…I own a Beneteau 473…not all that heavy of a boat…Please be careful! And thanks to everyone for making this site so helpful.

    There are now 6 laid moorings available close to the marina in Kusadasi in the small sheltered bay between Yilanci Burnu and the castle and as far as I know, there is no charge for using these.

    The chandlery which used to be in Setur Marina moved a couple of years ago to a side street across from the marina shopping and restaurant center. It’s convenient but a bit pricey. There’s another chandlery in the Sanayi Sitesi on the edge of town which is a good bit cheaper but obviously less convenient for anyone staying in the marina or adjacent to it.

    Blue Card Scheme update: 2014-06-23, from M/V LeeZe:
    As of this date, Kusadasi and Cesme are still not using the card. There is no pump out in Cesme at the city wall. You can hire a truck but we found the cost to be about 150 TL, minimum. The Gulets at the wall dump at sea, usually along the NW side of the Peninsular after their last swim call and before returning. They say the current is swift there.

    (Direct report from three boats.) The marina will pump you out at their gas dock. When checking out from Cesme, the Port Captain verified that I had a Blue Card and thought that MAYBE in 2015, it will come to Cesme. Even then, the city will not have a pump out capability for the gulets at the city wall until at least 2016.
    Lastly, Turmepa advertises that they will come to pump you out in Cesme. We tried three times to get them to come. No joy.

    When checking in at Eski Foca, The Port Captain wanted to see my card. There is no pump out capability shore side but never asked the Gulet captains what they do. There is no pump out boat either.

    As we travel more North, there appears to be even less concern given to black water discharge. If something changes, we will post.
