Now the unseasonally bad weather has abated, Mark is back on the water again and continuing south west towards the port of Duqm which is about 3 days paddling away. He is joined on the expedition now by his old friend, and logistics wizard, Alan Morrissey.
Alan joins Mark fresh from an expedition through the vast empty quarter and supporting Alice Morrison to be the world’s first walking explorer to cross Saudi Arabia from north to south.
Alan has spent nearly 30 years in Arabia and is passionate about life and travel in the desert. He supports expeditions and people wanting to travel and explore the deserts of Arabia. Mark and Alan reflect on their previous Heart of Arabia expedition, his recent travels with Alice and their mutual love of Arabia while looking forward to the next stage of the Oman 3165 expedition.
