Black Panther 1,591 Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 It's a bummer for us. We actually have a reason to get to the med and this makes it somewhat problematic. Maybe round the cape to the Caribbean and fly from there? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
darkside 61 Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 It's a real shame that it is so dangerous to take your own boat now. Those are the places of a circumnavigation that you will probably never bother to go on a jet. Anyone else you know got a t-shirt from Eritrea? But most of all apart from some head winds on the Red Sea stretch a great area to cruise. The reefs are more or less untouched and a lot of history as already mentioned.

1paulg 17 Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 Having lived in the upper part of the Red Sea in the Sinai as a dive master for 18 months I feel it is such a shame that one of the most interesting but challenging places is basically a no go zone . As a dive destination the Red Sea is right among the very top destinations . Quote Link to post Share on other sites
