Basra Breeze

 

I'm happy to report that after a year hiatus due to the Da'esh shenanigans way up north, thanks to your early support, Water From Oil is back on track! I've just returned from a whirlwind tour in the region - Muscat, Doha, Abu Dhabi, and Basra - organizing and garnering support for re-launch of our technical conference in May. Our team is back in action - and I even had a bit of time out for a tour of Saddam's yacht. Recently featured on National Geographic, the "Basra Breeze" is now refitted as the "mother ship" for the U. Basra Marine Science Center's research fleet. Anchored at their slip across the street from the Basra International Hotel, it offers great views of the Shatt Al Arab waterfront. And yes, project backers are welcome aboard!
