We have just completed our transit of the second half of the Suez canal and are now very happy to say that we are officially in the Mediterranean Sea! We left Ismailia Marina at 5am this morning and we were lucky to get another really nice pilot so easy going the whole way. It's now 3pm and we are making our way through the shipping anchorage just outside the canal entrance with 352 miles to go to Fethiye on the south western side of Turkey. We're in company with one other yacht called 'Equinox' from Scotland who are heading West of our destination to Rhodes in Greece. The weather looks pretty good although it's hard to get a good prediction in the Med but fingers crossed we will finally be able to switch of the engine and just sail (hopefully we haven't forgotten how to do this as it's been so long!).
