About this listen

Mark is finally back on the water after two days stormbound on land. Today’s leg starts near one of Oman’s stunning pink lakes, just south of Al Ashkharah and took Mark south along the coast to Ras Jibsh.

Landing at Ras Jibsh Mark reflects at the joy of being back on the water again, especially as this was the final paddling day of Leg 1 of Oman 3165. So Mark takes a moment to reflect back on the last 36 days of the expedition.

So far they have collected 6 eDNA samples, gathered over 120 hours of underwater acoustic recordings, captured hundreds of 360 images on land and on sea, while every couple of days Mark has been having online conversations with school children around the world and in Oman.

Go and check out the expedition Story Arc on the website to see more of the Omani coastline and learn about the expedition.

Leg 2 of Oman 3165 starts in early January when Mark takes to the water again to head south towards the border with Yemen.
