safaga and at sea






Hi all,
So we’ve been very busy lately getting used to the ship and, as you can see, doing safety training. All this has to be done so that if anything happens we can save ourselves and the passengers we have onboard. There’s a lot in it, as we cover all ship safety equipment and how to use it, crowd management, how to evacuate, and how to use the supplies onboard the liferafts etc. Oh and basic medical. All good stuff to know onboard and on land. Apart from that things are going o.k, at the moment.. we are on our 5th day at sea out of 8. It is a looong time to be at sea!. We missed Jordan as it was too windy to pull into port which was a bit of a bum, and we are cruising with Egyptian water at the moment, which is probably pumped from the Nile at a guess. The water is like gold right now with 8 sea days in a row!. Not long and we’ll be in Mombasa, Kenya. Zoe has a cold right now, has hit her hard today, poor soul, she’s at the doc at the moment so hope she can get something to help with it. Well that’s about it for now, we’re looking forward to getting this sea journey over and seeing some awesome places again, Its all worth it in the end! ☺. Oh, yeah Ant, Cairo is mad!! Totally! We had full security there with oozies. Thought of you a bit there as I know a friend of yours has a diving biz there eh, or used to?. We were in safaga. beautiful afternoon light there!

Wow, looks like you're having a great time.. You'll be pleased to know, November has stayed rather wet and muggy, a perfect time to get out of Auckland.
