The yachts that were on the 2009/2011 Blue Water Rally, which became stranded in Oman, have finally arrived in Marmaris, Turkey after being in Oman for the past 3 months.  The 20 yachts were shipped on MV Palmerton, owned by Combi Lift, a Danish owned corporation, and organised through Dockwise Yacht Transport LLC.  Significant shipping delays resulted in the yachts finally being shipped from Salalah, Oman on May 31, 2011, arriving in Marmaris, Turkey on 8 June 2011.

The skippers and crew of all of the yachts organized and attended an end of rally party in Marmaris, Turkey. The farewell evening was highlighted by a poignant, fond and moving toast to Phyllis, Bob, Jean and Scott of the sailboat Quest.
