CRUISING YEMEN
I never thought I would visit Yemen or sail into Aden harbor.
I had digested all the bad press about Aden ever since the Navy
ship, the Cole, was blown up after coming in for fuel.
I didn't consider stopping at Yemen until we sailed up the Gulf of
Oman toward the Red Sea. The cruising radio nets reported
that there was a fuel shortage in Eritrea, and there would be no
fuel in the Red Sea until we arrived in Sudan.
We mulled over our fuel situation and concluded it would be unwise
to cruise among the reef strewn remote islands of the western Red
Sea without a full of load of fuel. We didn't know what lay
ahead, and full fuel tanks give you a whole world of options.
Holding our breath, and somewhat against our better judgment, we
pointed our bows into Aden harbor.
In my work as an eye surgeon in Saudi Arabia, I had treated many
patients from Yemen. They are small stature gracious people
who always do a good job of showing their hospitality. The
odds were in our favor that our stay in Yemen would be pleasant
and memorable. Since I spoke Arabic and was familiar with
their culture, we probably would do fine.
Aden turned out to be one of our most enjoyable stops. We
ate middle eastern food to our hearts content and filled our
jerry cans with fuel before setting off for the Bab Al Mandeb.
