After eating some tasty yapral sarma and a doner kebab in a busy place in the Asian side of Istanbul, I was ready to embark on an exciting trans-Med cruise aboard R/V Pelagia. This is Leg 3 that will take us to Lisbon crossing the Aegean, Adriatic, Ionian, Tyrrhenian and Alboran Sea and finally back to the open ocean.
Mediterranean Sea has fascinated traders, explorers, adventurers and philosophers from time immemorial and was the subject of the first underwater exploration by the ancient Greeks. It is still fascinates scientists today and is unique in many respects among the world oceans.
And again we left for another GEOTRACES cruise. We sail back eastwards through the northern Mediterranean Sea. We left the beautiful city of Istanbul, accompanied by dolphins.
8 weken aan boord werken als steward, dat doe ik als vakantiewerk deze zomer. Na deze reis zit de helft van m’n periode aan boord van de RV Pelagia erop. Ik blijf aan boord tot we aankomen op Texel.

In the evening of 13 July we left Istanbul. It was already dark and Istanbul was celebrating the sunset, since it is Ramadan and the people were allowed to eat. We sailed under bridges decorated with many lights that in time changed colour.

First I present myself, my name is Aymen Saadi a PhD student from the INSTM Salambôo in Tunisia and I'm from Makthar, a city in the north of my country.
Before I left, this cruise was ringing in my head what you or your friends can imagine about a trip from the mouth of the Tagus River to the entrance of the Bosphorus: a stroll through the tranquil Mediterranean waters along lands where orange trees bloom.
