This has been a challenging expedition to the Indian Ocean that began with a cyclone in the Seychelles. That storm sent us to Dubai early but rare rains messed Dubai up. And today in Musandam we got on the water very early trying to beat an incoming storm. We had rain and wind right from the start anyhow. So much wind that we only lasted on the water for a few hours. We didn’t see any fish today. Sams GT quest will go on.
Sometimes you have trips like this. I can think of far more perfect trips than ones that were tough. I always say, “If you keep playing cards, you’re going to lose a few games”. We got a loss out of the way this trip. Thank goodness we tore it up in Southern Oman last week so this trip wasn’t a true loss for us like it was for some of my Seychelles guests that went home without a cast.
We left Musandam late afternoon and are presently traveling by taxi back to Dubai. We arrive at Nick Bowles house in two hours. Nick is cooking up something delicious. We’ll relax and catch up. Then at 11 PM Sammy heads to DXB to fly home at 2 AM. I’m going to hang with Bowles family a couple extra days and perhaps get that morning shot on the Dubai queenfish at least once. Stay tuned!
