We’re back, after a hard years work, and getting ready to leave. I have enjoyed working in the ICCU in Barzilai Hospital, and Oren has also had a good year teaching Bedouin to drive. We have both made many friends and will be sad to leave them. However, spring has brought the usual crop of Red Sea boats to the marina, and awakened our dormant urge to be on the way.
Our target is to leave on the 1st of August for Suez, and to scoot down to Eritrea as quickly as possible. After cruising in the really untouched waters there, we will try to catch the best weather window and do a non-stop leg to Cochin. Alternatively, we may stop in Goa, we will see.
So, are we ready? Oh yes, apart from needing to change the rigging, get engine spares, get visas, get the dog vaccinated…..
Meanwhile, some food for thought……
