2005 » United Arab Emirates and Oman - February 18th 2005. » Trip Back - Tuesday
Breakfast, then it was time to leave, and the engine would not start, flat battery. The captain found some men from the village, and they tried to start the engine with a rope around the fly wheel. Not successful, soon a spare battery arrived and we were started. Amazing they could find one; not like a breakdown on the M40
Long trip back the way we came, rough water again, and sea sick people. Where the military island was, we had to pass around the outside this time. We were stopped by navy launch with guns trained on us. We then stopped at a beach very near to Kassab where we had a final swim and lunch. Lunch being brought out to us by the launch.
