We had a quick transit through the Suez Canal with only one night stay in Ismailia. We had a very quick stop (20 minutes) in Port Said for the Egyptian Army to check the boat and we immediately started crossing the Mediterranean. Two and a half days and some stormy, rainy weather later, we were in Turkey! It is almost strange to be in a marina that is very western and full of Europeans. A little culture shift after our last few months. Though I have to say it is nice to enjoy the amenities- there is a washing machine here!
After almost 4 months and 4300 nautical miles, the Vasco da Gama Rally officially ends this Thursday. It has been a wonderful experience with great people along the way. I have been very fortunate to sail with Kikki & Henry - they are an incredible couple.
I hope to spend a few days seeing a bit of Turkey before I head back to Kwajalein. Trying to arrange flights from Alanya, Turkey to Kwajalein was quite challenging. It will travel for 5 days to get there with a one day layover in Hong Kong.
I think I would rather be sailing...
