It was a perfect Bodrum morning. The sky was blue, the birds were singing and everyone was smiling. We had agreed to put Esper in the water after lunchtime, around 2ish, bearing in mind that in Turkey “around 2 o’clock” is a very elastic concept…

With the addition of stereo, new VHF and various switches and monitors the left and lower dashs in the nav table area had to be redesigned.
