Sounds on a gulet!

The loud rumble of the rolling waves
The quiet murmur of the gulet engine

The deferent creak of the wooden floor
The defiant snap of the flapping sails

The soft sizzle of chicken on the grill
The hard pop of the chilled beer can

The slow scrape of a spoon in the bowl
The quick clank of a knife on the counter                                    

The cool splash of a jump in the waters
The warm chatter of fellow travelers


  



P.S: A gulet is a traditional design of a two-masted or three-masted wooden sailing vessel from the southwestern coast of Turkey, particularly built in the coastal towns of Bodrum and Marmaris; although similar vessels can be found all around the eastern Mediterranean (ef: Wikipedia)
