Crossing Foul Bay ~ Great Sail!

Current Position: North 23*04'061 East 036*21'191

Yesterday we made a short hop 10 miles up to Marsa Umbeila a beautiful anchorage but didn't enjoy it for long as at 3am this morning we were up and back underway. The winds have turned to the east at 15 knots and we're now having one of our best sails ~ averaging around 7 knots with calm seas and a beam reach. We didn't expect to get these kind of conditions this far north in the Red Sea but we're certainly not complaining. At this rate we'll have to reef down overnight to go a little slower allowing us to arrive at Dolphin Reef with enough light in the early morning. Fingers crossed Dolphin reef holds up to it's name and we get to swim Dolphins for the first time!
