This is a photograph of the fishing boat, Yarik Kaya, that we "rescued" when we were in Turkey on our sailboat, Tropic Moon.

| Image Cropped |
We were motoring down a long bay and we saw a couple fishermen in a small boat. They were waving something and trying to get our attention, so we motored over to see what was wrong.
 |
| Used "Stay" texture layer, Overlay, 75% |
Their engine had died so we played out a rope to them and took them in tow. They wanted to go to an island on the opposite side of the bay so we towed them for 3-4 miles. It would have been a long ways for them to row!
 |
| Used Hue/Saturation to adjust the colors |
When they thanked us, they gave us a fish that they had caught, and we put it in a bucket in the cockpit. That afternoon when we reached Datcha, Ed cleaned the fish and I cooked it for dinner. Ed made it into two fillets and we each had about a pound of fish to eat! Since we didn't have refrigeration on the boat, it was eat it, or toss it overboard....
 |
| The filter, Poster Edges (2-1-2) gave me this final textured image |
We didn't know what the fish was until we started eating it, and then found that it was a fresh tuna. Really delicious!
