Hello All; I'm a merchant mariner working aboard a tanker currently operating in the Gulf regions.  I've been an amateur astronomer for most of my life and would enjoy meeting and observing with your members.

Right now we are in Al Fujairah, but should be in Jebel Ali next week, and fairly often over the next four months.  Looking forward to visiting your country and viewing your stars!
