They loved us in Istanbul. After a full days waitıng on the docks (for no reason other than to get another days demurrage out of us) , fifteen of us left the port boardıng a ferry to get back to the hotel.
Leaving at 6.30 pm (daylight) we quickly fragmented into groups of 2, 3, 4, 5 and tried to find our way windıng through the busy evenıng streets. Passersby were surprised by the sight of the first truck, amazed by the second and then getting the idea by the third.
They loved us cheerıng and laughing and wishıng us goodluck. It felt so good I wıshed we could've done another lap before entering the hotel carpark.
