Hurgharda, Egypt - Aborted ferry trip

We boarded the ferry and left port at 9:00 a.m. for a 90-minute boat ride to Sharm El Sheikh on the Sinai Peninsula. About an hour into the trip the waves were getting very big, and though we were on a 46-meter (150-foot) ferry, some of the waves broke over the bow and spashed the windows on the top deck about 30-feet above the water! We turned around and the capatin announced that weather was bad and we were heading back to our port of origin. Just as we were due to leave the boat back in Hurgharda, they announced they were going to make a second attempt. We waited on the boat another hour and then they annoucned that the port at Sharm El Sheikh had been closed and the boat trip was cancelled. We talked with our tour company and they arranged for a van to take us to Dahab on the Sinai Peninsula, our final destination, instead of the ferry. The trip should take about 10-hours. We leave at 5:00 p.m. and will probably arrive about 2 in the morning. Well, you've got to expect some glitches when you're traveling!
