Mooring Clashes

We have been experiencing some aggro down at the boat, where our mooring has been under threat from a couple of particularly careless Turks and their bigger boats.
Our boat in the centre has had some near misses with both the heavy wooden fishing boat (top left) and the one on the top right. Both of them would moor too close to "Gremlyn" and as the wind increased (as it has done for most of last month), the boats collide. With the help of some of the local Turks on Gaye 2, we have persuaded the top left boat to leave the area and the one on the right to put in his own mooring in a place where his boat wouldn't interfere with any other. To be honest, if each of the boats had stayed in the positions in the picture there would have been no problem, but at one point the fishing boat was moored BETWEEN ours and the one on the right. They just have no idea ..... never mind, at the end of August many of these holidaymakers will leave, and only the locals will remain.
