THE Istanbul

Those of us who run, walk, hop, or ride along the Bosphorus regularly inevitably choose a favorite boat, almost as though its waiting for us to greet it as we go by Fernando and I sometimes debate our favorites as we run - qualities to consider include name, color scheme, size. There are a few I like but my absolute favorite is "The Istanbul", this beautiful navy blue, khaki, and dark wood boat, with banquet seating and a simple but elegant feel to it. Too big for Fernando, not big enough for Marshall whose fave ]is a giant pristine white one, but just right for me. The Istanbul makes running my Istanbul more beautiful..
