…” Culiana ran to the internet cafe to buy an Ultra anchor made in Turkey”… On a stormy day, all boats from the nearby islands, open bays, and harbors crowded into Vilihona Bay. Culiana did not anchor; he boarded his boat on me. We wanted to try my anchor. Culiano’s ship is twice as big as mine. We used a 20 m chain at a depth of 6.5m. The weather blew between 28 and 38 degrees nonstop for 24 hours. We saw 52 at the showers. After that storm Culiana ran to the internet cafe to buy an Ultra anchor made in Tukey… …I think the weather was 10 outside.

No need to say that inside was too bad. When surges started to come inside from the harbor entrance, all anchored boats became washing machines. Small boats started to go into the marina…We had to stay for a while since it was not easy to take the engine into the boat. We took our anchor nearby with the help of the head and stern chain grabs’ surge absorbent rubbers. Therefore, we started to take the wind from the side, but at the same time, we began to counter the huge waves entering from the bow and stern, which helped a lot. Some washing machines had to wait for the whole night since their anchors were dragging (I had clearly seen that one of them was using –C..-). However, we could sleep well in safety. 

My dear friend Nejat, you have designed a beautiful anchor, which has made our journey comfortable, and we can sleep safely in all weather conditions. On the other hand, it writes Ultra and Made in Turkey on it, and that makes me a lot happier. Before Ultra, I used to throw another anchor when the weather was increasing; however, there is no need for that anymore. I thank you and your partner, Mr. Yılmaz..
