MAR-21: In the Red Sea



Since passing the islands at the southern end of the Red Sea near the Gate of Grief on Tuesday morning we have not seen land.  We hope to see the entrance to the Gulf of Aqaba before it gets dark tonight.



Yesterday over the eastern horizon we passed Mecca.  During the night we passed over the Tropic of Cancer.  Since entering the Red Sea temperatures have been a bit cooler.  Seas have remained calm.  We have seen lots of ship traffic in both directions.  We are now out of pirate waters.
