What the creator captured
Oğuz Yenihayat kicked off the second season of his route story by chartering a Bali 4.4 catamaran, jokingly choosing the model to match his Malatya roots. He enjoyed the beginning of the summer season by sailing through Bodrum's famous bays like Orak Island and Papuçburnu with his team. The highlight of his experience was the seamless process of living on the water and the excitement of waking up in a different bay every morning.
