We finally got to the top end of the Red Sea. We choose
a longish weather window, which worked out well this time. We had a lovely trip
with flat seas and very little wind. So we made good time. We were stopped on
the way by a military boat; they asked for our papers.
We left Hurghada marina on Monday morning and got here
at the Suez Canal Yacht Club at 17.00 hrs yesterday afternoon. We are tied up to
a plastic floating dock, which is not ideal, but it works. Great spot for
watching ships come through the Canal.
Washed all the red desert dust off the boat again and
did some washing, got more fuel again and are now relaxing and waiting until we
get permission to go through the Canal. Somebody came to measure us this
morning, so we are hoping for tomorrow.
