Mustafa has been part of our rally, crewing on lead yacht ‘Mistral’, since we left Alanya in Turkey on 22^nd September 2012.

As our only Arabic speaking rally member he has been indispensible acting as go between and helping us with translations since we arrived in Egypt, he has even given us all Arabic lessons !

His wife and family have been at home during his sailing adventures however on Saturday Mustafa’s wife, Woe Woe, is coming out to see him and he is very much looking forward to seeing her, so much so that he has had tattoos carried out in honour of her arrival.

I hope she approves or ‘there could be trouble ahead’ !!!?!!
