    Buddy boating from Thailand to Greece

    Highlight reel! With our friends on SV Anne Charlotte, we crossed the India Ocean, stopping in the Maldives and Socotra, heading up the Gulf of Aden and the Red Sea, transiting the Suez Canal and arriving in the Mediterranean.

    Socotra, Yemen

    Politically and culturally, Socotra is to Yemen as Hawaii is to the US. On the island, the people speak Socotri, an old unwritten language, and you can still buy dates packed in goat skin and source a unique mountain honey in the comb. Home spun wool is $5 a shank for you knitters out there.
