It's GOOD to be BACK!

This weeks episode is a bit special. We set sail to Al Rams to discover and explore a new region we haven’t seen yet in our beloved Ras Al Khaimah in the United Arab Emirates. We didn’t really mention anything regarding the US-Israel-Iran conflict in the video itself, we thought it’s better to make the video about what we stand for, sailing. However, two hours in the sail we heard the first missiles getting intercepted above the UAE's territory. Scary? Absolutely! But did we ever really feel threatened? Not really. The UAE's Air Defence did (and are still doing) an amazing job at keeping the people safe. As expats it is a great feeling trusting a government which excels in leadership under pressure. The past few days at the anchorage where only every now and then interrupted by a loud bang of an interception, besides that, it was a great time here. We met super nice people, enjoyed great food and relaxed a bit with a premium view on the mountains which makes Ras Al Khaimah unique to us. So yes, the UAE is a safe country to live in and a great country to sail! Right now, we hope the situation will get better soon and try to keep living our lives as normal as possible. This episode is for everyone, also for the ones affected by the conflict situation we are dealing with right now. Maybe these 25 minutes at least can act as a distraction for you! :-) We will see you in the next one, your Layla Del Mare Crew, Lisa and Lars :-)
