TO Sailing across the Indian Ocean (continued, p.2) The weather slightly reformed, and our ship was able to go to cool in the wind. Wind average force accompanied us up to the Goa. We could not manage to catch up on lost time, so call in the Omani port of Salalah was canceled. From a point south of the eastern border of Yemen, we headed east across the Arabian Sea. Soon the command "Delta Mike" has left us, inviting all comers at last to climb aboard. Some of the passengers did not fail to take this opportunity to get on the torpedo boat, adding to the already known result, we describe several of his terminology - "a terrible stuffiness" and "with a strong odor of diesel fuel." Such a long journey has had a rather curious effect on such a small group of passengers (60 people). Among the passengers were Australians (we have six more), Americans, Britons, Germans, Swiss, French, Spaniards and citizens of other countries. The team, of course, was also composed of representatives of different nations. Maybe this sounds a bit corny, but the difficulties of travel in fact strongly rallied our team, bringing some of us have even become best friends. Journey time we spent in activities that were organized as representatives of our travel agencies and cruise by the participants themselves. Travel agents have taught us to dance the tango on the deck, and we, Australians, organized a celebration in honor of the race, "Melbourne Cup". As our cruise director, Peter: "As soon as the lapping of the waves set up all on the same wavelength, the passengers and crew will be in one piece, and the days fly by cruise. "Delta Mike" struggles with wave of the second Sunday, which we spent at sea, passengers and the crew decided to celebrate a kind of rite, which had no relationship to any of the religions. Of course, we heard the national anthem of the Navy and quotations from the Bible, but the whole ceremony got much richer because of what it was and Hindu chants from the island of Bali, as well as Jewish and Muslim prayers. On board we had a lot of Filipinos and residents of Goa, resulting in a loud and chanting turned right. This rarely hear. Dolphins Once we were able to enjoy the sunset, lying on the safety-nets near the bowsprit. A flock of 15 dolphins joined us frolicking in the waves below us. We also managed to see some whales, lots of flying fish and just a couple of sea birds. We are on the safety net Farewell to the Delta by Mike "was an interesting event. At 7:30 am on the last day the boat went over a distance of one nautical mile. Exactly at 8 o'clock, he returned to us and passed at a speed of 15 knots, sparkling flares and the burning of guns (in the opposite direction from us, of course). Our ship returned fire from the guns (where they got guns? "), Wailing sirens and joyous greetings. "Delta Mike" headed for Djibouti, where he arrived five days later. By the end of our trip, we wrote letters, sealed them in bottles and threw them into the sea. We left our contact info, but I think so, not all the bottles reach the addressee. Start material:
