		<title>Wanderlust</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This is a ‘Through The Porthole’ profile of a solo sailor, Ian of ‘Rhumb Do’. Since the age of 16 Ian’s wanderlust has seen him in over 80 countries, and the lust to wander continues. He is the rally’s only solo sailor.]]></description>

		<title>The People Of Sudan</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Suakin has to be seen to be believed. It is one reason why I took so many photographs of both people and buildings. Along the dusty road from the anchorage and old city lies the market, and behind the market, the residential area. The market is surrounded by wooden buildings that look more at home in The House of Fun, such is the angle at which they sit. It is the residential area, however, that really shocks. More buildings made of any scrap of cardboard, metal or wood have been cobbled together to provide some kind of shelter from the sun.]]></description>

		<title>The Journey To Port Sudan: An Eye-Opener</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As if we needed proof that we were visiting one of the world's poorest countries, the 1 hour bus journey from Suakin to Port Sudan was an eye-opener I'll never forget.]]></description>

		<title>The Net From Luli</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The last update we gave you had us stuck in an anchorage waiting for southerlies to blow through whilst we repaired the damage on a rudder on a boat that had hit coral. Phew! Now that the winds have blown through and returned to the usual northerlies we may resume our progress southwards. This is something that we discuss on The Net.


The Net is a kind of interactive VHF radio show held on a certain channel every morning. This is a recording of one such show where we discuss our tactics for entering Sudan and Eritrea. You'll also hear some positive words from Anthony of 'Divanty'. Definitely worth a listen...]]></description>

		<title>Rudder Hell: Running Aground</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We finally leave Egypt, at least officially. Having done the paper work to exit Egypt we made our way southwards, only to run into some nasty southerlies. With a lack of protective anchorages from southerlies we opt for Luli, which is a good 13 hours away. Unfortunately this meant we made the anchorage at the end of the day. It caught us out and three boats hit coral, one with some serious consequences.]]></description>

		<title>Flaming Feluccas!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We spent three days in Luxor with Terry and Fiona of Roam II, taking in as many sights as possible before we left Hurghada. We'll post up some pictures and related podcasts at a later date. To give you a little taster, however, we thought we'd post up this little podcast, recorded on our third day in Luxor aboard a traditional felucca. A felucca is a traditional sailing boat used on the Nile. We're unsure exactly how old these modes of transport are but they are still used to get up and down Egypt's great river. We get to chat to the skipper, a young Nubian, and also get Terry and Fiona's take on life on the Nile.]]></description>

		<title>Liz Does Luxor</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This is quite possibly our most action-packed log entry. Not only do we have an excellent podcast by Liz, but we have over 50 high-res photographs to accompany it too.


The podcast was recorded on our first day of our three day trip to Luxor and takes in Karnak, Hatshipsuit's Temple and The Valley of the Kings. It is a fantastic walk-around commentary and is extremely well observed. What else would you expect from the daughter of a professor of archaeology? It's quite amusing too, especially the observations of the Russian whores who were out in force that day. To help put things in perspective, take a look at these candid shots, all taken within half an hour at Hatshipsuit's Sacred Temple.]]></description>

		<title>Welcome To The Culture Shock</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My first escapade into a Sudanese town was rather rewarding, at least from a photographic point of view. I'd been warned that the Sudanese do not like having their photograph taken and wandering around this battered old town with my massive Canon lens attached to my expensive camera certainly raised some eyebrows, not least from anyone in uniform. I'd already been ticked off by a local man for attempting to take pictures of the local fishing boats on this atmospherically cloudy afternoon.]]></description>

		<title>Best Day of Your Life?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Can you think of the best day of your life? You've probably got a few, or perhaps you hadn't given it much thought. It's rare that a day happens and then lie in bed on the same evening concluding that it must be one of the best days of your life, but that's what happened today. Today goes down as one of the most idyllic, perfect days I have ever experienced.]]></description>
