24MAY07. Friday. What a day! My buddy and I signed-up on Standby for the "Water Sports" event. Again, jumped on a Dhow, put-putted out to the anchor point and splashed around in the water. Only difference, Jets Skis, Bananna Boat Rides, and Water Skis. That was a blast. Un fortunately, with the number of folks, each had about 5 mins per ride. Still, it beats the heck outta work. Midway through, we sat for another BBQ. Then resumed the water sports. All was great until a heavy-set girl broke her ankle on the Jet Ski. Then all Stopped. Ambulance was dispatched, people running around speaking several languages, the army staff freaking out. Apparently, this was the first time somthing like this has occurred. Anyway, all the water events are cancelled as I understand it. Good thing my buddy and I managed to get that out of our system. Still, what a blast. Got back and did some laundry - finally.
Our trips were arranged by these folks. Althought the advertising looks great, in reality the trips were a little rough around the edges. Still, beats work. http://www.qia-qatar.com/
