Well we have now been in the Port of Salalah for nearly two weeks. Yachts have come and gone off in both directions, and one returned from his onward passage to Dubai due to strong head winds. All is well. We are waiting for a boat from Dubai to arrive with spare parts for us. We have just had news from them that they will arrive tomorrow. We will continue on with them and possibly another one or two boats. Been good reports from yachts going both ways. Anyway we have been wandering the docks and spoken with the Somali traders who are bringing in livestock, so Alec says he has made ‘good’ contacts there in case of a diversion!! We have also said hello to different members of the coalition forces who use the same Wharf as the Somali traders. In port at the moment are the Korean, Japanese and British Navy’s. The Italians, Chinese and a British ships have just left to go out on patrol.
