Strange Wind Conditions In Dahab 3

Posted by Buzz Mon, 18 Dec 2006 13:28:00 GMT

Well its been a couple of days so here is a quick update.

The wind starting playing games yesterday. What normally happens here in Dahab is during the night the wind blows from the mountains accross the bay offshore from the right. In the morning as the sun warms up the mountains wind gets pulled across from the open sea to the normal direction cross offshore from the left. Well the day before yesterday we had the wind blowing very strong cross off from the right as per the night. However, the wind in this direction was incredibly gusty 8.0 weather 1 minute and 4.0 weather the next so as you can imagine not a very comfortable direction to sail in.

The beachfront looked a bit like a typical summer day at my local home beach when all the windsurfers are gathered waiting for that illusive sea breeze to kick in. Everyone was basiclly sitting around waiting to see if the wind would swap to the left hand side and stabilize. In the end I had a cheese sandwich and a tea and left for home to catch up on some emails etc.

No wind today that was a dead cert so woke up and did a bit of work on electronic girlfriend and then decided to go and chill out at one of my favorite escapes here in Dahab. Eel Garden, so named because of the colony of eels that reside in the sand bank at the foot of the reef. The place for me is perfect, situated in Assala the bedouin village right on the beach. Its location means it is away from the main drag of restaurants and bazaars in Masbat freeing you from the constant badgering to have a tea, smoke a shisha or buy something you don’t really need. Even in high season Eel garden restaurant remains a quiet relaxing place where you can sit by the water and enjoy the ambience eating some great food (Chicken Portugese is my favorite) and reading a book.

After chilling there for a while I walked down through Masbat to gather some much needed supplies from the Gazala supermarket and then grab a taxi to head for home.

The forecast is not looking that great until Thursday so don’t be too upset if there are no updates until Thursday night.

Until then wishing everyone good wind and happy sailing.

    With so many Helen Keller’s quotes that: All the world is full of suffering. It is also full of overcoming. Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much. Although the world is full of suffering, it is also full of the overcoming of it. As selfishness and complaint pervert the mind, so love with its joy clears and sharpens the vision. As the eagle was killed by the arrow winged with his own feather, so the hand of the world is wounded by its own skill. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. The fearful are caught as often as the bold.
