Our Current Position:
13 51N
50 53E
5.3 knots & course 251T
Moving slowly along the IRTC - about 360 miles to the end before we veer off towards Djibouti. All is well on board. Had Japanese Helicopter pay us a visit and also a Japanese Warship. We asked the warship to check on a radar contact we both had on our screens and they reassured us that all was clear on our rear after visual, infrared, and I'm guessing a more sophisticated radar system than we have. So we slept well for a while.
Fair amount of shipping in the lanes and we are just on the northern edge to keep a good distance from the traffic, but close enough to find the psychological comfort in the company of others. Early this morning we spotted a fishing dhow towing a skiff and Roger on LaPalapa called UKMTO, but unlike the movie version, we had no blackhawks appear instantly over the horizon to check it out for us. We did contact a freighter who was coming up from behind, and he did confirm the sighting of 'a typical fishing vessel'....Fortunately the dhow (aka mothership) and skiff carried on towards Yemen - no doubt smuggling Somalis to Yemen - at least that's my version.
We'll look forward to our arrival in the garden spot of Djibouti & catching up to those ahead of us who are now in the Red Sea.
