Boating in Basra

I'm being chivied to leave the internet cafe, so can't write much now, but here are some photos from the Shat el-arab (the river Delta between Iraq and Iran which has been the focus of many wars). The ship lying on its side was one of Saddam's yaghts (help i can never spell that word!) and I'm am standing on a boat with an oil worker from the local trade union.
