We are now on the final leg home having transitted the canal today. It has has been a frustrating couple of weeks in the Red Sea doing nothing but steaming around in circles and hosting VIPs. On the plus side though I have been out most mornings watching the world go by with a cup of coffee and have been out to watch a couple of Sunsets. The sunsets over the Sinai Peninsular were particularly good with the light reaching out like orange fingers as the sun slipped behind the mountains.
I creeped out one night to look at the stars, they put the upper decks out of bounds at night which is a shame. Anyway we went out and stared up at the starlit sky. Should have taken my iPad up though as I have forgotten so many of the stars that I used to be able to name. I really must start to learn them again.
We are now in the canal and will soon be back in the Mediterranean where the forecast is not promising, it will be cold, windy and rough but not long until we get to Malta, my final stop this deployment. It will be good to get ashore though as I haven't stepped off the ship since October. I get to fly home early as once we get into the Med most of the work will be done. So looking forward to getting away from this tin can, having some space and more importantly a proper bed to sleep in and a comfy chair to sit on. So roll on Wednesday and my flight home so I can be back with my family.
