SUEZ CANAL TRANSIT / Sailing Aquarius Ep 144

This is a major milestone for us – we are about to transit Suez Canal!
We start our journey at the top of Red Sea / Bottom of Gulf of Suez. Winds are not cooperating in this part of the seas, but as far as we been watching – it’s one of the better windows for our passage. 142NM to the entrance of the Suez Canal. On the way – usual – getting around fishing boats and their nets, and arriving to the huge anchorage at night. Next morning we move to Suez yacht Club, where Aquarius will be docked for the night. This time we are not checked into Egypt, therefore we can not go ashore and whilst docking we damaged our bow thruster. Oh well, luckily we don’t need it to transit the canal.
Next morning our pilot arrives and we take off to the next stop Ismailia. Join us!
