Voyager WC Itinerary Change

[larry1365]

Capt. Dag just announced that due to increased pirate activity in the Indian Ocean we will be skipping port calls in Mombasa and Zanzibar on Apr 6 & 7. Instead we will call on Port Louis in Mauritius and Reunion.

 

We have just pulled up anchor after a wonderful day in Praslin, Seychelles and will be heading just about due south for the next two days before the first stop. We are scheduled to be in Richards Bay as planned on Apr 11.

 

Guess I better get the atlas out and see where we are going!

We are on a land trip in Egypt and Jordan right now. On our flight from Amman to Cairo (first leg of trip home), there was a LARGE group of British people; they were supposed to join a cruise in Abaqa but something happened to either delay or prevent its transit through the Suez Canal. They had been diverted through Cairo, but don't exactly know where they were to pick up their ship; I didn't sit with any of them.

 

Don't know if that delay had anything to do with the pirate activity, but assumed it did.

Glad you're heading south away from the Seychelles; a small group of pirates recently tried to attack a US Navy Missile Frigate (shows how dumb they are) very close to the Seychelles. and 5 of them are currently in the brig aboard that naval ship.

They're lucky they're not bagged in the meat locker.
