Suez Canal 25th May 2017

The ship anchored up near Port Said in readiness to join the convoy of 25/26 ships. We had a war ship in the lead, I suppose to protect the following 'chicks'.

Our traverse of the Suez started an early 3am, so we missed our entry into the canal. Our day whilst we sailed through was relaxed whist we checked out the scenery and took the occasional photos.
