Passed Bahrain AND Saudi Arabia Gate'S

Now sailing towards Kuwait in the Northern Part of the Arabian Gulf. 

Yesterday sailing around this Island of Bahrain. This has one gate on its South side and one in between Saudi Arabia and Bahrain, under this famous Highway and Bridge that is especially buzy during the Weekends.

King Fahd Causeway

 

{it is that famous that it is honored with a stamp}

It showed as a very fruiteful day in the progress of sailing the Arabian Tour.

During the night I mainly sailed North on the autopilor and luckily the winds were rather stable. The Winds were strong on the east side of the Gulf and I though overall to make better progress there, also as now the winds turned more to the north giving the turn to the west still reasonable winds. 

This strong winds on the Arabian peninsula are called the Shamal, which could also create large Sandstorms, which impares the sight and sandblasting the hood of the cars. 


So today the target is reach Kuwait.


Rank is 15 this morning
