24.1.2008 | Muscat, Oman
Saturday, 19 January, was a really successful day. David and I managed to do a lot around the truck and I was truly happy, even though we didn’t go diving. I even received a friendly SMS-message from one of the sponsors. When everything was completed, we left the coast and went to an Iveco servicing shop to get a speedometer cable that broke just under the meter the night before. David put on his seatbelt for the first time since he started riding with me. It was exactly 3.30 p.m.

"David, are you going to set the wake-up alarm?" David confirmed, so we woke up half an hour late. His watch was still set to Iranian time. We missed the dive.
