Me sailing (12° 42' N 43° 27' E) - Helming whilst sailing through the Bab-el-Mandeb straits, south of the Red Sea. To the east is Yemen, to the west Djibouti. We were enroute to Aden during a delivery to Malaysia.
Kicking back in Uligam (7°05’N 72°55.’5E) - We were becalmed whilst crossing the Indian Ocean. the passage which should have taken 15 days took 24. So we relaxed on the beautiful island for a couple of days before continuing to Sri Lanka.
My boat, Mistral. - Mistral is an Alacrity 19. I keep her in Keyhaven river. She is a big responsibility, but one which i enjoy. I have completely re painted her and replaced much of her wood work.
