Email from the Ship: We left Port Kelang, Malaysia on 4-12-04 and have been sailing the Indian ocean into the gulf of Aden and now on the Red Sea. On starboard side we see Yemen and on port side is Somalia. As I see the land from the sea it's hard to believe there is so much conflict going on in both of these areas.We will be at Suez on Sun 4-25-04. Today is Thurs. 4-22-04.
The days at sea are the same routine. Breakfast at 7:30, visiting in the lounge while the girls clean our cabins,check emails, read, play scrabble, do some writing and go to lunch at 12:00. After lunch we lounge on the deck and read and snooze. It has been hot and humid so after awhile I come down to lounge which is the coolest place on the ship. I do make frequent trips to the bridge to keep in touch with the goings on. This morning we came upon a large flock of birds but noone knew what they were-just seabirds, Dinner is at 6pm and afterwards we entertain ourselves with reading watching videos. I go to bed early when we are on pirate alert since I can't go to monkey island to see the stars. I get up early 5 am when it is so peaceful and noone is around except on the bridge.
I'm looking forward to the Suez Canal.
