An Icy Dip in the Aegean


From Ayvelik, I took a day cruise around the surrounding small islands. Instead of white sandy beaches--I'll see those on the Mediterranean Coast--there were rocky uninhabited islands. I jumped directly from the boat into the icy Aegean for a swim. Brrrr! Colder than the Atlantic! Lunch consisting of salad and grilled sardines was included and everyone threw their uneaten fishy bits overboard, attracting a flock of scavenging sea gulls.
