With both the Kingmaker and I turning 40 in the last six months we had decided that we would do a red sea liveaboard to celebrate. We had settled on heading south to
Rocky, Zabargad & St Johns on board
MY Blue Horizon. A few folk got wind of our trip and decided to join us including:
- The Gandalf of the Internet
- Pushme Poolme
- The Big Easy
We were set.
When we arrived we were told that the itinery would have to change as the Egyptian military has revoked the boats permission to go to Rocky and Zabargad. As such the new plan was:
Port Ghalib - St Johns - Fury Shoals - Daedalus - Elphinstone - Port Ghalib
I wasn't that fussed - the addition of Daedalus meant I'd have an improved chance of seeing my first hamnmerhead shark and that was one of the primary reasons my trip.
Once on the boat our little group was given an additional diver to even up the numbers. She was experienced, but hadn't dived in a while. I'd like to think we made her welcome. We started with a couple of 60 minute check dives that threw up a couple of nudibranchs in between the boat steaming down to St John's to start our adventures.
