Dear Sir:

Thank you for your note that was passed on to me as I am editor of Sail-World.

We at Sail-World are terribly sorry for any offence caused by the reference to Arabian Gulf instead of Persian Gulf.

We are in Australian and not writing the stories, we are picking them up from the website of the Oryx Quest at: www.oryxquest.com and publishing them on our website.

The writer of the stories is Brian Hancock at email: brian.hancock@qisel.com

I would suggest you contact him, as media all over the world are picking up these stories.

I have changed all that we have published in the past month from the Arabian Gulf to the Persian Gulf.

My sincere apologies - it is difficult to keep up with changes to names around the world, especially when we are on the other side of the world, but now I know, I will make corrections to any further stories we receive.

Yours sincerely,

Di Pearson

Editor of Sail-World.com
