Breakfast in our cabin
There was now no commentary on the transit so I switched on GPS in my camera so that I could find out later where images were taken.
Back in our cabin breakfast arrived at 7 am. This was more a feast than a breakfast. After cornflakes, yoghurt I was ready to go back out and continue watching the ship’s progress up the canal as I ate more of the feast.
We were now in the most southern part of the Great Bitter Lake. I watched the fisherman as we past them.
The channel was marked by buoys on the port side.
Passing an airfield
As Oceana entered the larger lake we could see lots of houses and hardened shelters for planes. I was disappointed that no planes were flying or were visible.
Oceana was now in the largest part of the lake.
Now on the port side we could see a large escarpment beyond the strip of settled land along the side of the lake.
The ships behind Oceana were now much clearer than earlier in the day.
Outside of the channel we passed a shop that was anchored.
The tug that was closely following Oceana speeded up and its crew were busy taking pictures.
Back out on deck the deck chairs were full of towels , as usual, with hardly anyone sitting on them, again as usual.
As Oceana neared the north end of the lake we passed more fishing boats and chemical plants.
