Arrived in Suez!

Filed August 16, 2008 at 12:55 pm under Boating by Administrator

We got up at 5 o’clock in the morning today, and at 6 o’clock the pilot arrived. With our hearts full of trepidation we set out on the 80 kilometre voyage to Suez, hoping hope against hope that it wouldn’t be a replay of the first leg. Unbelievably, all was fine, and we arrived in Suez after 10.5 hours, even though the tide was against us most of the way. We have bought even more fuel here, and now have over half a ton of fuel and 700 litres of water! Tomorrow we will set out for the anchorages down the Red Sea, although Suez looks like an interesting place and we will be sorry not to stay for a while.

The next update will be from Port Ghalib, probably. Happy Birthday to Inbal, and thank you to Yasmin and Amos for the comments.
