Ep16 47 DAYS at sea !!| crossing Indian Ocean | How to shower at sea | Sailboat Delivery BALI-SUDAN

Leaving Bali and Indonesia behind we started our crossing from Bali to Port Suez. The trip supposed to take around 30 days, but Indian Ocean had hidden surprises for us. The crossing took us 47 days due to low winds (quite surprising for Indian Ocean we never had more than 18 knots of wind) and we decided to make a pit stop in Swawakin, Sudan to re-stock fresh provisions before we continue our trip to Port Suez .

In Swawakin we were anchored right in front of the ancient city and we would sleep and wake up with the incredibility in our faces... in front of our eyes there were the ruins of what used to be a thriving city that civil war had brought down to ruins. People leaving in bad conditions but even in that state they were happy kind and more companionate than people we usually meet in big cities. We asked a local where was the open market and he offered to take us there by his car...when we arrived there he offered to wait for us and take us back to the anchorage, without anything in exchange.

When we visited the open market there was another surprise, the people body language was similar to Greeks!! We didn't speak the same language but we understood each other because we had the same body language. It made me feel like home and making new friends.

We spent 4 great days in Swawakin before we sail to Suez and cross the Suez Canal .

No war can destroy a genuinely good 💓.
