We have changed our plans. We will not go to Salalah.
Yesterday Blue Water Rally boat Laroobaa - who we have convoyed with since Maldives, decided that our speed was too slow for them. They left us and went on their own to Salalah....so much for the convoy/buddy boat system...
We are doing well, and this afternoon will rendezvous with a friend, US S/V "Lapalapa" to continue on to the IRTC that we will follow until we reach Djibouti. Lapalapa has been enjoying the company of US Warship 84 - Bulkley for the last 2.5 days, and not sure what 84's next task will be, but heard them on VHF this morning. Very encouraging.
Sadly, we learned that another yacht has been hijacked by pirates.
