You are all in Convoy 1: THE HORMUZ TANKERS: We will be on Channel 8: 446.18125Mhz

 

@Ishak@Imran Asghar@Hartzel@Mei Ling@Andrei S 

You guys and gals are all in Convoy 2: THE GULF SAILORS: You will be on Channel 10: 446.23125Mhz

Thanks Ishak for taking a second convoy and for allowing Imran to practice his first partial lead. I am sure you will all enjoy. 

@Ishak @Imran Asghar With a bit of luck we can all meet at the Foxes Den around 10AM and take a massive group photo. Let's see how it goes.

See you all tomorrow at 8AM, or even better at 7.45AM so you have time to deflate, set up your flag, and then we can do the briefing and head out by 8.15 latest.
