Saturday 17th November
Refreshed after a calm night “Fat Annie”, “Casa Tu” and “Intsomi” left early for Dahab, previously a "Hippie Hole" on the Sinai side of the Gulf of Aqaba. It was a long slog Northwards against the wind and with a nasty swell. This was soon forgotten as we were well received by a friendly official and welcomed the chance to come ashore for shopping, a beer and an Internet. Dahab is now a big windsurfing and dive centre and was quite busy with rather beautiful young people. That evening, all the crews ate an English meal of roast gammon, new potatoes and parsley sauce aboard “Intsomi” and watched some of the heroic exploits of Russell Crowe in the nautical epic Master and Commander.
