While happily swinging at anchor in Nassau Harbour in May 2006,
enjoying the sights and bustling harbour activity, cup of coffee in hand, in
comes an email from an old colleague in Dubai, Stuart Wheeler. Would
Geoff be interested in a 2 month consultancy project in Dubai?
Geoff's first reaction was that "Work" is a four letter word. But when he
realised that the alternative was a session of D.I.Y. on houses in UK,
he booked his seat to Dubai. Geoff arrived in Dubai at the end of August.
Iza followed a few weeks later. By the time Iza arrived, Geoff had
migrated from the initial 2 month project into another new project, to set
up a new Seaplane operation, offering sightseeing flights for tourists along
the coast of Dubai. The temptation was too
much to resist. We agreed to forego one sailing
season and stay for one year. |

Our Life in Dubai |
|
Experiencing the phenominal,
fascinating, mind-blowing development of Dubai. Though this involves living
in a continuous building site with
the consequent noise, dust and traffic problems. Our stay in Dubai
culminated in our first ever parachute jump. |
