After anchoring to await our turn to proceed in, we eventually
arrived in the harbour at 1.ooam the following day.
Once we had cleared immigration and customs (at much cost to the
onboard cigarette locker!!), we eventually joined our convoy at 3.30am.
Due to it being night time, not many photos could be taken. So the
following photo's are when the vessel was at anchor in the Bitter Lake,
which looked more like a ships version of NCP car parks!! Due to a
container ship running aground and blocking one channel.....
That is the culprit, circled. Better not give out the name of the vessel.
Unfortunetly due to the fact that the ship has run aground, the rest of
the transit will be done in darkness. So that is all to see in the Suez Canal....
Next stop will be Salahal in Oman, to pick up one person, and a few
essential items, but will not be going alongside.....yet!!!
Till then......
