or "Landyachting" - loads of fun! (Actually - the less load, the more fun.) Took a group just outside Doha yesterday to check this out. As you can see from the pictures - we strapped ourselves into 3 wheel carts and used sails to race across the desert. The absolutely flat, empty terrain is perfect for this sport. The wind wasn't blowing all that hard yesterday - which meant the kids had a faster ride (less load!). Erin (who didn't want to try it at first) was the leanest, fastest machine out there, and she didn't want to come home. For an idea of how this might work in more wind - check out this Youtube video at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VwI3WqvtxL8&mode=related&search=quad%20freestylequad%20atv%20pizzi%20blowkart which was taken during a 30 mile hour wind. None of us were able to go anywhere near that fast yesterday (no 2 wheeling, and no one fell over) but we still had a great time and will go back.
Still no sea freight - hope to see that within a week or so. Ramadan is over now, which means stores are open and it is legal to eat and drink during the day - hurray!
