This summer, the weather is really hot above the seasonal normals. I've been going fishing with my friends in the open sea every week for about two months. There are times when we stay in the open sea for a day or two, sometimes for three days. Sometimes, as sailors say, “the air is bursting”, so the wind and waves do not allow us and we return immediately. However, sometimes we come across interesting events. One day at noon, we anchored in the open sea and rested. We saw dolphins swimming around us and decided we needed to move immediately. Because dolphins are missing all the small fish and naturally we can't catch fish. So I anchored and towed the boat a few miles away. However, when the Coast Guard team, which was following us on the radar, realized that we were moving from Turkish territorial waters towards international waters, they came to us with their very fast boats and an officer got on our boat. Our boat captain was asleep. I was using the boat and the officer who boarded our boat immediately asked me for my driver's license and ID. I gave my amateur maritime license and identity card. The officer, who was looking at my license and ID, suddenly hugged my neck and kissed my cheeks. I was surprised!
-How are you uncle Ali? Did you recognize me?
-Son, your facial expression is unfamiliar but I didn't recognize it, you F...?
-Yes, uncle.
With the excitement of seeing my cousin's son, whom I have not seen for many years, on a boat in the open sea, this time I hugged him and we were longing. He was our guest on the boat for a long time and he returned to his duty. They left, telling us not to go to international waters, telling us our route.
Of course, it remained in my memory as a sweet memory.
The truth is, I often go fishing on the high seas to forget the disappointment I've had over the years and the pain in my heart, the other days I spend at home solving puzzles or reading a book on the beach. morning and walk. We have the autumn season ahead of us. In September/October and November the weather is very nice in Cyprus. Sea season. The water is warm and there is no wind. I will go to Cyprus for a week or ten days. Later, I will make a trip to the Balkan countries and when I return, I think we will enter the winter season.
And I will try my luck one last time. Maybe this winter I can get along with a lady and get married. I'm trying to forget old hurts, but remember, the pain can be mutual. Because I will publish my own site later. That's when true leaf fall will begin.
