7.00am leg time and we have just altered course for the safe water buoy outside Salalah, 50 miles away.

We are all desperately trying to maintain our concentration for the remaining few hours, especially  just before dawn which is a high risk time.

Once Mark is awake our priority must be showers, we haven’t taken a shower for 4 or 5 days (can’t remember) and we don’t want to frighten the locals !
