Day 10 - The Read Sea

We are now heading south through the Red Sea. 25 degrees C and a light breeze. The Red Sea descends between Africa and the Arabian Peninsula. It is 2,250 km long and has a maximum width of 355 km. The maximum depth is 2,130 m. To the north, the Red Sea ends in two narrow bays that enclose the Sinai Peninsula: the Gulf of Suez on the western side and the Gulf of Aqaba on the eastern side. On the west bank from north to south pass: Egypt, Sudan, Djibouti and Eritrea - on the east bank are Saudi Arabia and Yemen. To the south it connects through the Bab el-Mandeb Strait to the Gulf of Aden and on to the Indian Ocean (Arabian Sea). 
A day of reading, knitting and the mandatory rounds on the deck - tonight we got salmon as starter and the saltimbocca we didn't get yesterday. We enjoyed the sight of a fine full moon over the Red Sea from our balcony.
