Twenty Years Ago, Today, Thursday, October 1, 1998: Ucagiz, Turkey

LOG: Calm. Walked across isthmus to Sicak to see Aperlae ruins & sarcophagus – some under water. Goats everywhere. More camels. Up anchor – 3-mile motor to Ucagiz, ancient Teimiussa – anchored in 23 ft.

CHASING SUNSETS: p 228, “The sarcophagi lined the shore, but the water was too murky (a first in Turkey) for snorkeling. We had walked across the isthmus from Polemos to see the ruins of the ancient city and port of Aperlae, some of which are under water. Ryan and I snorkeled but saw only vague outlines.”
