Waiting for departure.

Agent to bring charts, passsports and port clearance any minute. Then we will depart Muscat  for steaming to our port of crew change. It will be Port of Rashid (Dubai) UAE. 30 hours cruise, through strait of Hormuz. And I bet USD100 that I will see an American and an Iranian warship, hopefully not at too close range. Wednesday 29th, 14:00lt we will leave the vessel. Flight leaves 1st 01:35lt.
