Red Sea diving

Happy Birthday, Hugo! What a lucky kid, for his 12th birthday, he earned his PADI Junior Open Water Diver certification and discovered the incredible underwater world of crocodile fish, pajamas slugs and sea cucumbers. Another day and then back to Turkey, the boat and cat. We opted to skip the trip to the burning bush/Mount Sinai for a variety of safety-related reasons and watched Cecil DeMille's "The Ten Commandments" instead. :)

Having spent 10 years in DC, we moved onto the boat in June 2012, with the intent of sailing across the Atlantic to the Mediterranean for a year. As of June 2013, we've sailed from the U.S. (Annapolis, Maryland) to Bermuda, then to the Azores, to Lisbon and down the Atlantic coast of Portugal and Spain, through the Straits of Gibraltar, along the southern coast of Spain (with a quick trip to Morocco) to Ibiza, then Sicily, through the Corinth Canal and Greek islands, winter in Turkey, a few weeks in Israel, with a side trip to Egypt. After a month in the Adriatic in spring, we all sailed to the Azores, where mom, cat and kids left by airplane, leaving John and crew to bring the boat back home to the Chesapeake.
