| El Fuerte the Horse Killer |
|
|
| So there we were, booted out of Abu Dhabi and anchored off shore. We were cleaning the boat and conversation was sparse. I delved into a special conversation starter that I had been saving for over a year. Feel free to use it at your next cocktail m... |

| So close and so far |
|
|

| Running the Pirate Gauntlet |
|
|
| The actual art of dodging Pirates in the gulf of Aden is as close to being in a war as I would like. We joined a full convoy, adopted aliases and basically made like a floating submarine for four days. We missed our Chinese convoy and were going... |

| Three Rounds with Neptune |

|
| When I last left you. It was an edge of the seat ending. The weather had turned, we had missed our convoy and we were about to lose our internet connection. The weather was really something. We had a wind of up to 50 knots blowing straight at us an... |

| Egypt! |
|
|
| Our exit from the Suez canal was a bit smoother than our entrance. Our second to last pilot made off with a guest hair dryer and his compatriot had an interesting way of disposing used toilet paper. We will be better prepared for our return passage.W... |
