Oman Sail: Reconnecting young Omani’s to their maritime heritage

On Day 22 of the Oman 3165 Expedition Mark updates us from just east of Muscat. He has spent the last few days paddling past Oman’s capital, a long thin city, edged by the mountains on one side and the ocean on the other. The landscape has changed from the flat sandy beaches to the west of Muscat to now rocky sea caves and arches that Mark has been able to paddle into and explore.

Since the last podcast update the team have continued to receive great welcomes as they came ashore each afternoon. One of those was from Oman Sail and in the second part of this podcast Mark talks to Debbie Richardson from Oman Sail about the role they play in supporting young Omani’s through sailing to learn a wider range of leadership, sustainability and teamwork skills they can apply on and off the water.

Alongside Oman’s Sustainability Week, Mark learns about the Precious Plastic Muscat project run by Oman Sail.
