We arrived at Suez last night and were able to fuel up. Then upon rising this morning much after the sun, we were already in the canal making our way north to the Mediterranean Sea. The only person I have seen, on this seeming ghost ship, this morning is Udo, sneering at me while my hand is rubbing my one-day-old bald head.

As for today, tomorrow and the day after, the mind must control the body.

It is very hazy in the canal, only in certain areas may you see the desert surrounding both sides with sporadic housing with small row boats containing three to five persons, just outside the channel. I presume they are fishing or taking oysters. The haze is so thick the sun has difficulty breaking through.
