Where in Kuwait? I am on a ship on a Persian Gulf shuttle run, back and forth between Ash Shuwaykh and Jebel Ali, often with a stop in Al Shuaibah. Unfortunately it takes 3 days to get a crew visa in KW, and we are never there more than about 16 hours, so I never get ashore there. Ship is Maersk California, in case you ever see us going by. And thanks for the welcome!
My wife and I transited the Panama canal on March 23, 2001 and were line handlers on friends boats to get us all through the locks. I would like to go again as a line handler, getting to old to do it on my own boat!
