Red Sea Sailing Adventure! Hiding from the Wind, Beach Cleanup & Boat Life with Friends

Current Location: Wadi Gemel Destination: Suez Canal (Mediterranean Sea) Distance to go: 700 km Estimated time at sea: Around 10 days (excluding weather delays) Sailing in the Red Sea feels like a continuous seamanship exam. The goal is northwest—but of course, the wind comes straight from the northwest, or sometimes from the north, swinging 20 degrees either way. How is a sailor supposed to plan a course like that? Crossing the Red Sea is like climbing a mountain—you see the summit, it looks close, but you never quite reach it. You’re constantly forced to stop and rest. It appears and disappears, and that uncertainty wears on you. My mind keeps drifting to the past, or the future. It's hard to stay grounded in the present. Who would have thought that crossing the Red Sea is harder than crossing the Indian Ocean? Land is right there... but for various reasons, we can't step foot on it. What kind of game is this? Back in the city, I used to daydream about living on a boat, sailing around the world. Freedom, adventure, going wherever I pleased. Now that I actually live on the ocean, I often feel constrained, uncomfortable, and out of place. Maybe that's part of why I’m here. I used to naively believe that things should always feel good—and I avoided anything that felt hard. Life on a sailboat brings hidden desires to the surface. Things buried deep inside slowly float up. Lately, I just want to go home and do something with my family. Anything. Open a bakery. A bento shop... In the city, I used to dream of life at sea. Now that I’m at sea, all I can think about is the city. Here in the Red Sea, balance and patience are everything. The more anxious I get, the more dangerous it becomes. I can’t always follow the steps I think I should follow. This is the ocean—I have to respect nature. Sailing isn’t just about seeing the world. It’s also about seeing myself—clearly.
