The Hiawatha

Yesterday, we spent the afternoon cruising the Bosphorus on the Hiawatha. This boat, owned by the US Consulate, is allegedly the oldest boat on the Strait. 100ish years old. I haven't been able to find the exact history of the boat, but regardless, we had a great time on it (her). The occasion was some friends who are moving back to the US. We cruised up toward the Black Sea for about an hour and swam near the shore. The water was a beautiful blue-green. It was a little nippy, but refreshing.
