  • Muscat, kudu, wadi bashing and heat

    Well those nice Omani people kept us waiting for 2 days before we got alongside - at 7 o'clock at night :( but that didn't stop us :)
    First day was written off as was duty :( however day 2 started badly as my relief was taken to hospital after having her drink spiked and my other bod had to take a rugby player to hospital with a suspected broken rib - turned out to be just tissue damage so he will live :)
    Day 2 ended in Rock Bottoms watching a cover band, not tooo bad but drinks were expensive :(
    How to cure hang over ... get up 2 hours after going to bed, spend 2 hours in the back of a 4x4, walk 2 miles over shingle, pebbles and rocks ... find a 30 foot high outcrop and jump off it in to a wadi ( river type thing ) repeat this several times until it's time to swim into a cave and do something very similar - oh and then walk back in 45 degree heat, cures any hangover :)
    Had a nice meal for 30 rialls, all you can drink during your meal was free - 3 and a half hours that meal took :) Had kudu which is some kind of deer antelope thing - tasted like chicken NOT :)
    Finally had to store ship ( bring the shopping in ) for 200 people for 3 weeks! The thermometer only went up to 50 and it hit that fairly early so we aren't too sure what the temp reached lol!
    Oh well back to sea for a half 4 start Sunday morning exercising with the Omanis :( Happy days :)

  • First time sex

    A girl asks her boyfriend to come over Friday night to meet, and have
    dinner with her parents. Since this is such a big event, the girl
    announces to her boyfriend that after dinner, she would like to go out and
    make love for the first time The boy is ecstatic, but he has never had
    sex before, so he takes a trip to the pharmacist to get some condoms. He
    tells the pharmacist it's his first time and the pharmacist helps the boy
    for about an hour. He tells the boy everything there is to know about
    condoms and sex. At the register, the pharmacist asks the boy how many
    condoms he'd like to buy, a 3-pack, 10-pack, or family pack. The boy
    insists on the family pack because he thinks he will be rather busy, it
    being his first time and all. That night, the boy shows up at the girl's
    parents house and meets his girlfriend at the door. 'Oh, I'm so excited
    for you to meet my parents, come on in!' The boy goes inside and is taken
    to the dinner table where the girl's parents are seated. The boy quickly
    offers to say grace and bows his head. A minute passes, and the boy is
    still deep in prayer, with his head down. 10 minutes pass, and still no
    movement from the boy. Finally, after 20 minutes with his head down, the
    girlfriend leans over and whispers to the boyfriend, 'I had no idea you
    were this religious.' The boy turns, and whispers back, 'I had no idea
    your father was a pharmacist.'
