I’m currently sat on a boat in the Persian gulf 20 miles off the coast of Saudi Arabia, I’m at work. We have supplies delivered to us every 2-3 weeks. 1/2
Despite the fact I could be here for months and I don’t know when I’ll see my family again, I feel like one of the lucky ones with the shitstorm that is happening at home and all over the world.
Stay safe people.
