Today we took a trip to the mouth of the Bosphorus to the edge of the Black Sea. This is the view to the Black sea from the ruins of a castle atop the peninsular.

Just inside the mouth of the Bosphorus seems to be perfect fishing grounds. I counted 22 big fishing boats using nets to fish today just nexdt to the Black Sea. There are also numerous cargo ships passing by.

Thankfully this area of the Black Sea does not seem to be affected by the tankers run aground yesterday in the storm. Let's hope the spillage doesn't change direction!
