Early morning in the Dardanelles, May 9 2010
It was suggested that we get up early and look, as we passed through the Dardanelle Strait, a 38-mile link between the Aegean Sea and the Sea of Marmara. At first we were completely enveloped by mist; then lights from the ship created little illuminated caves in the mist. It was quite a disorienting sight at 6 a.m. When the mist cleared, we were silently cruising along. We barely rippled the Marmara, the whole way up to the Golden Horn. Magic.
The Sea of Marmara and the Dardanelles
At dawn. The sea was like glass the whole way. Some dolphins played by the side of the boat. Everything was silent.
