1/2 way through the Canal. Looks like a nice city maybe we'll spend a couple/three days before we leave for the Med.

Current Location: Suez Yacht Club, Egypt
Current Position: 29 56.85 N 32 34.37 E
At 3:01:37 (but who's counting) we left the Red Sea and entered the Suez Canal. We watch in awe as the Huge ship traffic passes behind us and reflect on our Red Sea Adventure. All in all it was a great experience..

Wow. Huge blocks (2-15 tons) made at a rate of one every two minutes for 23 years. It's amazing to walk in the shadows of the only remaining monument of Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. The Great Sphinx is also in the complex.


Pyramid and sun.. imagine when the top was gold!!

An awesome collection of Egyptian Antiquities

The Treasures of King Tutankhamun was the obvious highlight, amazing how much stuff they pulled out of a little space.

The busiest, craziest, loudest place we've EVER been. Absolutely insane to think that this is how they shop here. They must burn out their horns in a week.

Crazy to think we'd want to go sailing again, but it's the Nile afterall! A light breeze (and sometimes paddling) carried us around Elephantine Island on a 2hr Nile Cruise.

An amazing temple, worth getting up at 3am to get there! Even more amazing is the fact that the entire temple was relocated!

It looks like it was carved out of the surrounding cliffs. Also "found" our own ruins Mt biking over a short cut to get to the road. Amazing what else you can see while taking it slow.

See Temple of Hatshepsut for more details.

A long bike ride into the desert to view the amazing tombs. It took an entire rule of a king to build his burial place. Increadible to think they were carved and decorated by hand.

A HUGE place with amazing columns that blow you away. Amazing to imagine that it was started in the 18th dynasty of Egypt (1550-1292 BC)

Marsa Alam, Egypt
25 Feet Good Holding. Two days sailing = 30 miles north before the wind picks up to 25 knots. AND we get up at 5 am to leave, we've had to sail 41 miles to make that 30!!


Our actual track

Renanto Reef

Renanto Reef, Egypt
45 Feet Our own private reef
(literally drop right behind the reef.. and watch out for a southerly switch)

Wind picked up to 20-25 knots and we are hiding here until it dies down a little. If I had know the reefs would have this much of calming effect I would used them more often. Once you get to Egypt you lose a lot of the indented protection of the Marsa and Khor anchorages and this is where you really need them as the northerlies fill in with a vengeance.

You'll still find calm days, but the weather windows are usually shorter than predicted, always have a ditch plan. We know fellow cruisers who had to re-sail hundreds of miles after they got blown out and couldn't make the finally destination.

Wind started picking up and lasted the night, glad we pulled in. Is this BF Egypt?
