Happy Birthday, Oscar.

Oscar is three today - I hope he had a great birthday.
We just celebrated a 64th birthday with Billy, at our table - the first time he has smiled so far!

Yesterday we went to the Dead sea - enough said. We went to the gym this evening & then had saunas, to remove any last traces of mud.
This morning we went to Naama bay to see the sites of G's great diving triumphs. We walked the beach, seeing some pretty good fish right at the edge, then spent an hour on a glass bottomed boat, the water was beautifully clear & blue with a good number of different fish.
I still do not ever want to go diving.
We went to old Sharm & pottered arourd the shops - fairly typical Egyptian tat really - then back on board to sail for Oman, past Saudi.
We have a special drill in the morning & they have put razor wire all around the stern to prevent pirates boarding - sounds exciting.
We will get some photos of "skull & crossbones" for J , if they materialise.
Clocks forward another hour tonight, GMT + 3.

Jest not about the pirates. We haven't the money for your ransom. So you'll be teaching science and George computer skills in Somalia.

We are.
We are not a likely target - 650 pensioners to cope with!
Have I mis-spelled it! I am trying to use the correct jargon.
