Facebook
informed me that a very special boat is supposed to be anchored in Hurghada for
some days. A boat operated by solar energy only!
I
absolutely wanted to see it and on my day off I went to the Marina to take some
pictures. And of course because I like the Marina: it’s a quiet and neat place.
So there
she was, the PlanetSolar: she looks like a huge utopian bird on the water and
was surrounded and marvelled at by other on-lookers. The PlanetSolar stopped
over in Hurghada for five days on her trip along the equator and endowed
Hurghada with a touch of the big, wide world.
I looked at
her in amazement and secretly felt a certain pride and sense of home seeing the
Swiss cross and the Swiss flag – although I am not a Swiss citizen… Here are
some of my photos. There is also the link to PlanetSolar’s homepage for those
who want to know more about the boat, its team, the log book and more…
