Today we had a very special easter as it was spent swimming with a pod of dolphins at Dolphin Reef off the coast of Egypt. We arrived at 9am and wound our way through the mine field of coral heads to anchor in 30 feet of crystal clear water. Just over an hour later we were in the water with a large pod of bottle nose dolphins who appear to just hang out inside the reef. They seemed quite happy to be accompanied by human swimmers and even came up close to have a better look...magical!
Unfortunately we'd made the tough decision to head back out to sea and sail further up the coast for another over night to Port Ghalib just spending 7 hours at the reef. We're currently motoring into northerly winds and choppy seas wondering why we didn't stop for a couple of days and make the most of the opportunity. The hard part of sailing up the Red Sea is to know when to stop and when to keep going on a good weather window but this time we think we've probably made the wrong decision as we sit and relive the days events!
