One more full day at sea tomorrow and we reach Oman and the UAE. This is where Aladdin used to hang out. I'll be on the lookout for cheap lamps.
As we head west from Mumbai, we are approaching the western edge of the monsoonal zone. The weather is improving by the hour. We now have a long, lazy SW rolling swell of around 2.5 metres and a light wind of 5 knots from the NW.
Tonight is "formal" again. How tiresome. I have to put up with starched penguins strutting their stuff when in daytime they revert to being elephant seals by the pool! Tonight I have been invited to join a dinner group with Keith McWilliam on it. Should i tell him what I think of his wine being sold on board. Time will tell.
The Karaoke is on again after dinner - please stop me someone!
I am going on excursions at Oman and Dubai - so these will be recorded ion the blog.
After we leave Dubai and head back down the Arabian Peninsula - we are in Pirate Alley before turning right into the Red Sea. Some exciting days coming up!

Glad you enjoyed India! Can you remember who did the lectures on pilotage in the Barrier Reef - we had a guy on our cruise who did that and also evening stars for the punters which did bring back a lot of memories.
ReplyDeleteI agree that Singapore is totally unrecognisable from our Confrontasi days
So how did the carry okey go?
