I thought to pass Kuwait by dailight for making a daylight picture, but it was sunset already, as I got somewhat delayed by a hick-up of the game computer. Luckily there was just enough light still to make a photo of the silhouette of the city from the water side.
I could pass Kuwait still in good winds, as many boats behind me had to make a detour to the North and back SW to catch the shifting favourable winds.
After Kuwait it was for Suratna on autopilot straight to Kharg island gate, passed on WayPoints autopilot in a very early morning hours.
Now it is sailing nicely, spinnaker up and full with wind to have a good speed and hopefully tonight approach Strait of Hormuz again on the way to Oman.These winds are not quiet a Shamal, no sands carried with it yet, as the real Shamal may have more strength but mostly can bring a dusty environment with its sand-storms.
Rank this morning 15.
