We had a nasty trip from Marsa Thelamet to Ras Sudr yesterday. There were
strong winds and a dust storm and we had to hug the coast most of the way to
keep out of boat-stopping waves.
At the Ras Sudr anchorage on the east shore of the Gulf the winds became
more pleasant and there were even dolphins playing around the boat. An early
start this morning and we were tied up at the Suez Yacht Club by lunchtime.
Which was nice.
Lunch in the Red Sea Hotel and then a bit of boat cleaning which Steve
thinks a waste of time as we will get dusty again along the Canal.
It might be a wait of a couple of days here for formalities and warships
getting priority southbound.
