After waiting out some northerly winds, we left Khor Shinab on Sunday
morning and daysailed to Elba Reef. It is another excellent snorkelling
site.
As we now have some rare southerly winds we are now on a 150 mile dash
across the wonderfully named Foul Bay. It's not all that clear which
national courtesy flag we should be flying just here as there seem to be
unresolved issues concerning the border between Sudan and Egypt. As there is
nothing much ashore, apart from a few scraggy camels, maybe nobody cares.
We just caught a tuna and had sashimi for breakfast. We are all out of
Cornflakes.
