MARSA HALAIB - LAST ANCHORAGE IN EGYPT
We started the weekend with a really good sail from Marsa Girid to Marsa Halaib.  The Egyptians and Sudanese are not entirely in agreement as to the position of the border, so this is a sensitive area with a few gunboats in evidence on the Egyptian side.  Our experience with one of the gunboats says a lot about Egypt and Egyptians.  They refueled us for nothing from the gunboats tanks!  Marsa Halaib is our last stop in Egypt.  We will be sorry to leave a country with so much to see and a very warm and welcoming people.  The present border is at 22 degrees North so we are only 15 miles inside Egypt now.
