Wind Sailing in Djibouti

"The Fleet"

Four singles and two doubles.

Colonel Clark assisting Chris Boll in getting underway.
Will Leque heading out for a lap of the course....

About one kilometer out and then one back in sometimes under 4 minutes....that's pretty fast!

Greg Vinci sets up to operate a two man, solo.

The yacht club.....at least for the day.

New Years in Djibouti

Cynthia came out to see me for New Years. 
Kempinski Hotel had a fantastic dinner, band, dancing,
wine, champaign and fireworks at mindnight.....


The Christmas deocorations were still up at Kempinski, Very Festive!

New Years Day we climbed a volcano....


For a great view of Lake Goubhet.

And some promotions and a reenlismtment on the summit.


We visited Lac Assal to see the lowest and saltiest place in Africa....

And took a dip to prove the buoyancy.


Upon discovering Kempinski doesn't recycle we took our recycling back to camp.

And Cynthia got to see my CLU first Hand:-)
