Our Current Position:
12 47.5N
44 58.8E
CHECKED OUT OF ADEN, YEMEN. Departing at 0900Z (noon local time)
Refueled yesterday, had a very restful night at anchor (almost too quiet without the engine!). Now Mike & I are ready to go & we will continue on with LaPalapa to a Suakin, Sudan about 650 miles from here - yes from one garden spot to the next here in the middle east! We still have a concern for piracy for the next 300 miles, and will keep a vigilant watch and stay close to the coast - after which, everyday will give us a little more piece of mind!
Most folks we dealt with were very pleasant here in Yemen, but it will take some getting used to the whole baksheesh dealing in these parts. "I meet you at dock - have baksheesh for me". "I walk with you to customs - have baksheesh for me". I come along side your boat in my crappy skiff & bang into your boat - have badsheesh for me" I'm going to have to walk around with 10 packs of cigarettes everywhere I go from now until the med!
Our short stay here will deserve far more detail in a blog at some point, but it's time to ready the boat for what looks to be a wild & crazy ride for the next few days! At least we'll be sailing!
Mike & I are not sure how we're going to deal with watch now that Kieran is gone. No more 6 hours of continuous rest!
Take care.
Marc & Mike
