Adventures in faraway places….

Safaga, Egypt....at the north end of the Red Sea....in the heart of a troubled region

The short port visits to Safaga provided hard-worked crews a brief respite as they patrol the often perilous waters extending from the Red Sea to the Persian Gulf.

These adventures in faraway places help to offset the long, hard months of work....in an often very hot, humid and dusty environment....thousands of miles from home....and sometimes in harm’s way in the vicinity of nations hostile to America and her allies.
