A heroes welcome13th May 2010

As Majan slowly motored into The Wave marina in Muscat, the 200+ strong crowd rose their flags into the air to welcome the crew home. Family, friends, press, VIPs and Oman Sail staff gathered on the dock to see Majan and her crew for the first time since the 6 February, 97 days ago.  The families and close friends got the first attention from the crew. Mohsin got to see and hold his baby girl, Thura, for the first time. Slowly all the greeting embraces were over and the media interviews and questions started in earnest. Over 100 school children had come down to see the festivities and were hugely excited. “This chapter of the Indian Ocean 5 Capes Race is now over, we look forward to the next. Majan and crew are home safely, and we are satisfied we have given our all.  Majan has stood the test superbly, as can be witnessed by the condition she was in when we arrived. After the home coming we have just witnessed, we can safely say that Oman has given the crew a heroes welcome,” reported Mark Covell.
