At anchor about 20nm S of the Egyptian border (or rather one of them.. They're always under dispute and therefore a bit 'flexible'!)

Khor Abu 'Arsehole' anchorage where we are is next to a large refugee camp and is not the most salubrious of places for visitors (& probably less so for residents, I'm guessing!).
Unfortunate, as we left a truly stunning one only yesterday 30nm S of here at Khor Shinab that had the most amazing Mars-like desert landscape & walks ashore.

We were hoping for cellphone/internet access here, but its vv poor to non-existent. Still, at least it is a bolthole... We're with 2 other yachts but none of us are likely to make any progress N for next 8 days, due strong N'lies. At least Mili we can walk ashore here too, although a waving stick is vital due to rather territorial crows and the odd hawk!

If long term forecast is remotely accurate, we may get a 4-5 day window after the N'lies, so will likely have to grab that & miss out Port Ghalib and Egyptian cruising and head straight up to Suez to try and make up a bit of time. First World 'problems' methinks!
