Dubai (lost blog) / Salalah / Araabian and Red Seas / Off to Petra

Greetings from the Arabian Sea home of the Samali Pirates,

Aloow me to start with today and then retract my steps. We just passed a convoy of 11 merchant ships protected by three warships from China, France and the USA. They move slowly so we sped pass them. we are in pirate land. Everyone on board are going about their day as usual. As a matter of fact I just finished a wine tasting seminar. As a platinum member of the World Cruise Club we are offered these little events. The Captain informs us of varying groups of vessels that we may pass in this narrow corridor protected by international war ships. It is a fascinating experience.

I have lost track if I mentioned our barb wire and water canons on the third deck aft. Interesting to see, but not necessary thus far. It is a beautiful day at sea, sun gentle breeze comfortable to sleep on a lounge, part of this morning's activity.

I would have sworn I sent a blog after Dubai, but apparently it got lost in ciber space.
