October 31, 2009 - Set sail for coves and castles in a gulet cruise around Turkey's coast
Huge white sheets are careering across the boat, catching a gust here, a ripple there and flapping with purpose. Ropes are tugged with gusto, sails pulled taut, the wheel spun. All hands are on deck and working feverishly - except mine, of course. I'm clambering to find the right spot for horizon watching, sunbathing and seabreezing. And I won't need to move until sundown. This is sailing as I had always intended.

June 16 2008 - Set sail for the Turkish Coast
Indolence without guilt: that sums up a week on a Turkish gulet. These traditional vessels, up to 35m long, provide sheer relaxation. The captain and crew not only sail the boat for you, they even prepare all your meals while you read in a shady corner, swim to a deserted island, sight-see, party and then sleep beneath the stars. To visit monuments or become a monument to idleness? The choice is yours.

May 21, 2006 - Turquoise Coast Poetry in Motion - Brian Patten takes to the water
Holidaying afloat has never been more popular in Turkey. And Gocek's location on one of the country's most beautiful stretches of seaboard, known as the Turquoise Coast, makes it an ideal point of departure for the many tourist gulets that crowd the marina, their masts a floating forest of pine.

Secret anchorages, smooth sailing and absolutely no need for shoes whatsoever: Brian Jackman couldn’t be more relaxed on a gulet cruise of the Turquoise Coast.

February edition 2007 - Two go sailing in Turkey
Rose H and I are seasoned travelling companions. Neighbours for years, we were virtually joint mothers during the years when she taught my own young Rose to ride and I had to deliver her to pony camps at dawn, usually with a wheelbarrow and shovel insecurely lashed to the roof-rack. Those days would end by drinking tea in Rose H's kitchen.

July 26, 2006 - Another day, another bay - Family Gulet Holidays
It was remarkable - both my husband and I were able to read a whole book each in a week. This may not be the highlight of the average holiday but when you have two children under four and your break is on a boat it is pretty miraculous. In addition, our four-year-old, Saskia, learned to swim breaststroke unaided except for a pair of water-wings, we snorkelled every morning and I didn't have to prepare one meal in seven glorious days.
