laager Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 ...so it is said. This change is from Oz to Qatar. Ahh, the sand, the sun, the wild heat, the crazy drivers and the biggest construction project on Earth - the expansion of Ras Laffan. Some have quoted to me that there will be 100,000 personnel on site at the peak of construction activity. The best part - looks like I'm taking all my Heritage gear, DD-18 and NAD receiver with me. Schweet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

laager Posted May 23, 2009 Author Share Posted May 23, 2009 At least two years, but I already know it will be for longer than that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pauln Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 You may be tempted to get out on the beautiful water... a sailing lawyer I know had a little adventure his third day there: paraphrasing his observations... If you go sailing or boating, be sure to observe your chart, and do not cross over into the area marked off by a red border on that chart. Turns out that is the royal residence property line extending out on to the water and if you violate that you will be intercepted by gun ships. They will indicate you should follow them out of the royal zone, they won't know English, and if you are in a sail boat they will not interpret your requirement to tack as strict compliance... they will freely express their concern by firing their machine guns into the air. If you wave a rope at them they will tow you out of the royal zone to the marina across the water (and escort you to the police station nearby for a little orientation talk). Everything will be fine after that, in fact the police will keep a friendly eye on you after that and actually help keep you out of other kinds of trouble...
