Newsletter February 2011 - Turmoil in Egypt and the Tours with Blue Waves

+++Turmoil in Egypt
A sad but true event and hopefully this ends with a positive outcome. It was time for change and, for the Egyptians, to stand up and take charge of their political situation. The turmoil in the capital does not have much influence on our tours on the Red Sea. Though unfortunately many tourists are now unsure and in return many flights have been pushed to a later date or cancelled. We will go on business-as-usual starting with our first tour on March 17.  Diving underwater where it is silent and calm will keep our heads and flippers out of the media’s reach. Should anyone have any problems with a flight or questions regarding security issues please feel free to contact us.

+++ Renovations of our baby “Blue Waves“
Today she will go back in the water, unfortunately quite a bit tardy. To be honest part of the delay is due to renovations as we found a nasty hitchhiker buried into our hull. The small holes he makes is about 4mm in size and with a boat of 30 meters long it was a bit of luck that we found him. This marine tubeworm had buried himself into our hull and made a nice set of canals through some of the hull that we now have replaced.

Then came the turmoil. Here we received notice that material sent for replacement to Cairo never arrived or was lost in transport. Who knows really? But our diligent crew got together and worked it out so that now everything could be finished. New pictures will follow in a few days. We will inform you again soon to show off Blue Waves’ new shine.

+++Start-up Tours – Who’s tempted?
On our start-up tour on March 17, it has many available spaces.

I am excited to begin the new season with friends onboard Blue Waves.
