Yacht Jennifer will start sailing May 30 from Marmaris, Turkey. We will cruise the Turkish south coast during 12 days and June 12 sail from Alanya to Kyrenia in north Cypres (the Turkish part). After Cypres we sail June 17 to Beirut, Lebanona where we will stay a few days. From there June 24 to Haifa and Tel Aviv in Israel where we will stay one week all in all with excursions to Jerusalem, the Deas Sea and other places. June 30 we sail to Port Suez and the Suez Canal.
Distance between Marmaris, Turkey and Fineke, Turkey is about ca 100 NM.
Distance between Fineke and Antalya is abt 50 NM.
Distance between Antalya and Alanya is abt 75 NM.
Distance between Antalya, Turkey and Kyrenia, Cypres is abt 100 NM.
Distance between Kyrenia and Beirut, Lebanon is abt 175 NM.
Distance between Beirut and Haifa, Israel is abt 65 NM.
Distance between Haifa and Tel Aviv, both in Israel is abt 50 NM.
Distance between Tel Aviv and Port Said, Egypt is abt 150 NM.
We will sail approx 765 NM in the Med.
During six days we will be in the Suez Canal, which is abt 75 NM long. The crossing takes 2 full days, 1 day to Ismailya and 1 day to Port Suez. We will stop in Ismailya in the middle othe Canal at its very nice yacht club and visit Cairo and the Pyramids. On July 7 we will sail nonstop from Port Suez to Hurgada Marina in Egypt, a distance of abt 200 NM.
We will spend about one month in the Red Sea; in Egypt, Sudan, Eritrea and Yemen.
There will be lot's of diving/snorkeling and opportunities for excursions at land; From Hurghada to Luxor and Aswan/Abu Simbel, and from Massawa to Asmara and Keren. We will stop in Hurghada, Port Safaga, Port Ghalib/Marsa Alam, Suakin/Port Sudan, Massawa and Hodeidah and many marsas/bays and anchorges.
Please realize that it can be very hot in the Red Sea during summer. Temperature can reach 45 degrees (or even 50) Centigrade and normal temp is between 30-40 C. Water temp is about 28-30 C. Jennifer has no air con but fans in all cabins and big suntents covering the whole boat. When we sail or motorsail the wind will cool us though. Just so you are aware of the temperature.
Distance between Port Suez and Hurgada, Egypten is abt 200 NM (abt 2 days sail).
Distance between Hurghada and Safaga is abt 90 NM.
Distance between Safaga and Port Ghalib/Marsa Alam, both in Egypt, is abt 90 NM.
Distance between Port Ghalib, Egypt, to Suakin, south of Port Sudan, Sudan, is abt 425 NM (will ancor along the way)
Distance between Suakin, Sudan, to Massawa, Etiopia, is abt 250 NM (we will ancor along the way).
Distance between Massawa, Etiopia and Hodeidah, Yemen is abt 220 NM (we will ancor along the way).
Distance between Hodeidah, Yemen to Aden, Yemen is abt 250 NM (abt 2 days sail).
This means that the distance in Red Sea from Port Suez to Aden is abt 1 300 NM.
After Aden we will during August sail - in convoy or under protection from the many war vessels - along Yemeni coast to Oman and Dubai in the Persian Bay. From here in September to India.
If circumstances allow, we will stay in the ports mentioned below. However, if convoys or warships decide otherwise we will follow their instructions.
Distance between Aden and Mukalla is abt 300 NM (abt 2 days sail).
Distance between Mukalla and Salalah, Oman, is abt 300 NM (abt 2-3 days sail).
Distance between Salalah and Muscat, both in Oman, is abt 650 NM (abt 5 days sail).
Distance between Muscat, Oman and Dubai is abt 300 NM (abt 2 days sail).
The total distance between Aden and Dubai is thus abt 1 300 NM.
During August the South West monsoon is still blowing rather strong, galeforce winds might occur. But the wind is from behind, normaly a reach. This fact, i e the strong wind, is a good thing from a possible pirate attack point of view. Pirate activity goes down considerably during the strong South West monsoon. I am in contact with the Swedish navy as well as the USA 5th fleet in the area. The Swedish navy will operate in the Gulf of Aden-area from April to August 2010 (possible longer). We might have armed escort onboard for the Yemeni stretch.
I have also put out a notice on www.noonsite.com regarding forming a convoy in the Gulf of Aden in August. In Djibouti the French navy has its HQ and in the area warships from the EU, USA, Russia, India and China operates. After Oman there is very little risk of piracy. I will be in constant contact with the various navies and the Yemen Coast Guard. Jennifer has a new up-to date Inmarsat Broadband Satellite Communcation System onboard as well as a new Broadband Digital Radar and an AIS (Automatic Identification System). However, there are is always a small risk of piracy .
From Dubai we sail on to India with the South West monsoon. In India we will stop at Mumbai/Bombay, Goa and Cochin and stop for seight-seeing a few days in each port.
Distance between Dubai to Mumbai/Bombay, India is abt 1 200 NM and will take abt 10 days.
Distance between Mumbai and Goa is 220 NM.
Distance between Goa and Cochin is 360 NM.
In October we will sail from Cochin, India to Male in the Maldives a distance of 380 NM and takes abt 3 days..
In the Maldives we will during October and early November cruise/dive/snorkel the atolls and also sail south to the uninhabited Salomon atoll in Chagos archipelago which belong to the UK and back to Male.
From Male again we sail on to Galle in Sri Lanka, abt 450 NM where we will stay a few days and check out the beautiful teaplatations and then end November sail directly to Phuket in Thailand. November month is transition month, i e between the South West and North East monsoon. Hopefully we will get the wind from behind.
Distance between Galle and Phuket, Thailand is abt 1 000 NM and takes abt a week.
During December 2010 and half January 2011 we will cruise the beautiful Phuket and Krabi archipelago and the Thai Westcoast and possibly to Burma. Now the pleasant North East monsoon will blow.
Mid/end of January 2011 we will sail on to Malaysia, Singapore, Borneo, Philippines, China, Japan, Alaska, Canada, California and Hawaii for Christmas. More info about 2011 later.
