Zephyria Yachting & the Furat brothers
Today was the first meeting with the owners of ZEPHYRIA YACHTING. English was the language of all, so we went over a scheduled number of points to start the planning of this side of the project.
MR. Mehmet Ali FURAT was the only member of the meeting who had actually ever seen the boat in the U.S.A. He had inspected the boat in BEAUFORT N.C. for about 4 full hours and had the best idea of what will have to be done…
Details of all the works etc….would only make you readers more nervous than ourselves…
Conclusion of the meeting was : THE PROJECT CAN BE DONE with lots of care and lots efforts from all of us.
We were invited by MR. Halil FURAT on their beautiful gullet CASSANDRA, one of the 4 ships properly built and owned by the company…
Captain Cemal TEKE, Chef MALIBU & Deckhand MESUT were waiting for us and served us a delicious lunch of fresh local produce… One of us could only look to all that delicious food while restricted on a severe diet of boiled potatoes, boiled plain rice & boiled spaghetti all without any sauce or side dish…
After lunch we went to the shipyard of ZEPYRIA YACHTING where it all will happen and where Margie Mc. Coy will be transformed into MOONLIGHT 1931.
This shipyard even has a space already waiting for the boat to arrive and start the works. What a difference to the situation we are facing in the U.S.A.
This is HOSPITALITY & COSTUMER SERVICE….!!!
According our last information we expect the boat to arrive the MARMARIS PORT OF IMPORT only by mid of July. Will we ever get her away from the U.S.A.?
