Ras Al Arah
After one night in Djibutian waterrs at Dumeira Island we crossed the shipping lane at the Bab El Mendeb (the straits at the bottom of the Red Sea) and are now in the Indian Ocean, or more particularly the Arabian Sea.  We have been beseiged by Yemeni fishing boats wanting goodies, but they are very friendly.
Our anchorage is rather rolly at Ras Al Arah, but after a long day sailing the stop is welcome.  We are now only a day and a half from Aden, our next big port.
Local boats are quite different here with an elongated high prow.
