Sailing to Safaga, Egypt

Whoa! Captain called us back to the ship early because passage across the Red Sea to Safaga was going to be rough. Boy was it ever. From 12:30 / 3:30 am I tossed and turned out of my bed. Seas were 10/12 feet and wind 55 mph. Rought night. We did not get sick, but many others did. At one time in the night I heard someone crying. The next morning I told Signa I thought I heard someone crying in the night and she said Was it me. So funny.

The bad seas delayed our arrival to Safaga by 4 hours, so we could not dock due to the continuing wind in the harbor. Finally at 12:30 they sent a pilot ship to us and we went to shore by 10 people at a time.
