Cruising the Gulf of Aden and the Arabian Sea

---

Friday the 26th October and Saturday 27th October were spent exiting the Red Sea through the Strait of Bab al Mandeb into the Gulf of Aden and cruising with Yemen on our left and Djibouti and Somalia to our right. We cruised past the island of Socotra (Yemen) and into the Arabian Sea (which is part of the larger Indian Ocean). The days were spent on deck and D attended lectures, while M went to craft and art classes. We spent the rest of our time at sea reading and eating ... and eating some more!
