Day 106 - CRUISING THE MOZAMBIQUE CHANNEL

 Date: 4/19/2024   Day 106  Sea Day: CRUISING THE MOZAMBIQUE CHANNEL

DescriptionMozambique Channel, channel of the western Indian Ocean, threading between the island country of Madagascar on the east and Mozambique on the African mainland (west). About 1,000 miles (1,600 km) long, it varies in width from 250 to 600 miles (400 to 950 km) and reaches a maximum depth of 10,000.

Morning Update: This is the second day of two sea days on our way to MAPUTO, MOZAMBIQUE on April 21st.  Seas are a bit rough but not to bad.  My wife Cathy had to go back on her sea sick meds yesterday and by dinner time she was feeling much better.  We rolled our clocks back another hour last night to match Mozambique time.  We also had to apply for visa's for a country I never knew existed, Benin to prepare for our visit to Cotonou, Benin.  Their website was a bit challenging and it required a call to my credit company, using the ship-to-shore phone, to approve the purchases, $55 for each visa. The ship is going to credit our accounts $60 each for us world cruiser's.
