| The view of the fishing village of Jasser a Zarka, about 45 minutes north of Sdot Yam, one of our most popular routes, round trip about one and a half hours |
| This is the season of strong northerly winds, makes for interesting outings |
| The wind was too strong for most of us and so after a short while we headed back |
