Geeks on a Boat

Peter the Swede has returned to Dubai! Last Tuesday we went deep sea fishing off the coast of a town called Khor Fakkan on a little speedboat with a cool Emirati named Yousef, and we caught eight tasty fish who all bear the majestic name "Sultan Ibrahim." After a couple of hours of fishing, Yousef showed us around a few tiny islands with tiny beaches. We'd left our masks and snorkels in the car (because we're geniuses!) but there wasn't much light left anyway, so we just swam a little.

Peter's camera was used to memorialize Yosef and the Sultans; pictures to follow once I steal them. Amit still has our camera (a symptom of not hanging out with Amit enough) so crappy fon camera had to fill in.














See the tiny town of Khor Fakkan!
