AFFORDABLE GIFT FOR THE SAILOR IN YOUR LIFE!
The Red Sea Chronicles -
A FIRST CLASS SAILING ADVENTURE
Captain Dave and his family spent eleven years sailing around the
world on their Privilege 39 catamaran, Exit Only. During the trip,
the crew of Exit Only shot 200 hours of video with professional
cameras to show people what it's like to sail on a small boat
around the world.
The Red Sea Chronicles is a one hour and twenty-two minute
feature film showing their adventures as Exit Only sails
through Pirate Alley in the Gulf of Aden and up the Red Sea.
The professional footage documents their experiences in Oman,
Yemen, Eritrea, Sudan, Egypt, and the Suez Canal. It
chronicles the rigors of traveling in a remote section of the
world rarely visited by cruisers. Exit Only dodges Yemeni
pirates, fights a gale and sand storms in the Bab al Mandeb at the
southern entrance to the Red Sea. The crew explores deserted
islands on the western shores of the Red Sea, and learns to check
the cruising guides for land mines before venturing ashore.
The Red Sea Chronicles also has outstanding Special Features
including an
Instructional Video on Storm Management that tells
sailors how to deal with storms at sea.
The Red Sea Chronicles is a first class adventure that stokes the
sailing dreams of both experienced and wannabe sailors alike.
Order your copy of the Red Sea Chronicles and experience the
adventures of Exit Only as they sail around the world and up the
Red Sea.

Welcome to the Wild West
We
arrive in Aden with a damaged alternator and are delighted to find a superb
local machine shop. As we prepare to leave, fellow cruisers are attacked by
pirates.
