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.
