Bow of the Boat - Egypt

The trip out is usually 1-2 hours before you get somewhere and a good way to pass this is to stand at the front looking for what you can see and bouncing up and down with the waves.

The disturbance in the sea to the right of the boy in the yellow t-shirt in this picture is a small shoal of flying fish. I've been on trips like this and been almost constantly accompanied by flying fish and others where I haven't seen any at all. Just remember to cover up and plaster yourself (and especially the kids) with copious amounts of high factor sunscreen, the breeze in particular can fool you into thinking the sun isn't as strong as it is. This is Egypt in August (in this case) the sun just doesn't get much stronger than this!
