The Gulf Of Aden

[Laidback]

I have just heard that the small West bound flotilla of sailing yachts has arrived in Aden after transit from Salalah Oman under constant watch by Coalition Navies.
Here is a evening picture of Al Mukallah about half way along the Yemen coast.

My late brother did the red sea, Seychelles, Maldives, Durban many years ago. It hasn't changed much at all by the sound of it.
He too, talked of the 'dark ships' as the tankers then were under rocket attack from small boats.
And the joy of deserted islands, good fishing, excellent swimming, and happy sailing in his Snowgoose, Meander.

There is a good current blog at followtheboat - tales (not just) from the high seas - be aware that they are deliberately delaying postings and obfuscating their whereabouts for obvious reasons.

Roaring Girl,
Is there a section missing ? No coverage of the Gulf of Aden is to be found in the blog.

[Roaring Girl]

Not yet.

Any news of scheduled convoys traveling east from the Red Sea in June-August?
