Hi Liz,

Thanks for asking us. Full details of our experience are on our website under cruising notes. Lo, the rally organiser, gave many more possibilities for anchoring than we used; he is very experienced in the area.

South of Massawa we certainly did not need to stress the boat too much because of the places available to wait for favourable winds.

Overall we would recommend using Lo's experience in these difficult waters and particularly for the support he musters for rally boats from Yemeni coastguard and Coalition Maritime Forces for the gulf of Aden.

The cost of joining is easily recovered in free mooring, reception dinners etc.

Please feel free to ask any other questions you may have.

Regards

Tim Moore
