4 hour stop at Dumeira Island on west side of the Bab el
Mandeb for sleep. woken by the military moving us on out of the anchorge. on
closer inspection the area is covered with military tents, hardware and
personnel; this is the border with Djibouti and Yemen across the
Bab.
ironically the most feared place for weather on this
trip is flat calm as we motor across the Bab and its shipping lanes. the wind
picks up a little as we go between the Yemen mainland and Perim island to enable
us to sail out of the Red Sea with a favourable current doing 9kts speed over
the ground!
