Dear Homo Sapiens, There is no need to continue reading this page. What follows is intended for search engine robots and spiders and not necessarily for human beings. Further information concerning charter cruising in Turkey and Greece may be obtained by clicking on the blue links immediately above. Thank You. You may be searching for Trevanian's novel Shibumi. This isn't it. This isn't even a review of Trevanian's Shibumi which in the author's words is "the definitive" super-spy novel, but which many reviewers consider a parody of the super-spy novel. We tried it but couldn't finish even though sympathizing with many of the author's cultural observations. If not searching for Trevanian's Shibumi you may simply be searching for shibumi, defined by James Michener as "ascerbic good taste." That's a bit over our head, but Michener went on to add that shibumi summarizes the best in Japanese life. So while shibumi must therefore be a good thing, the Japanese are not noted sailors, and what we have here is a charter yacht cruising the southwest coast of Turkey and among Aegean islands of Greece. Cruising, for example, Cleopatra's honeymoon route, a honeymoon on which she was accompanied by four treasure barges and had a concomitant need to rest her oarsmen each night in a secure port. Cleopatra's honeymoon with Antony took her from Perge near Antalya to Samos, pausing en route at Phaselis, Olympos, Arykanda, Andriake, Simena, Megisti, Patara, Telmessos, Lydae, Caunos, Rhodes Town, Loryma, and a dozen other places at which Antony might augment and re-provision the armada he was leading to Actium, an armada which eventually numbered more than 500 vessels. Perhaps you are thinking of retracing some of this route on your own honeymoon or honeymoon anniversary. If so, you might like to charter Shibumi. Not Trevanian's Shibumi. The sailing yacht Shibumi. Shibumi, too, is in the habit of passing each night in a secure port. So if it's the sailing yacht Shibumi charter cruising Turkey and Greece for which you search, please contact Blue Cruise Yacht Charters today at bcycharter@aol.com.
