Jared and Me on the boat. We actually had perfect weather for our day in Oman, despite ominous forecasts predicting thunderstorms up until the morning we went. It got a little overcast in the afternoon, and was extremely windy (therefore chilly at times), but beautiful because it wasn't too hot, which would be uncomfortable if you're on a wooden boat all day.
Other than the snorkeling and dolphin watching, we were entertained on the boat by our captain fishing and actually catching two giant King Fish. I was in awe of the first fish... until he caught the second one...
Wrestling with the big catch.
The Big Catch. Probably 2 and 1/2 feet long, presumably heavy, and extremely frisky. After walking around the boat to show all the passengers, he was promptly stuffed into a cooler.
Mountain Village accessible only from the water. On our cruise you could see about 3-4 tiny fishing villages that have been built into the mountains and are only accessible by water. Each village has only about 100 inhabitants, although I'm pretty sure they do have electricity because you can see power lines going over the mountains. Still not sure I'd really want to live there...
