After a final flurry of provisioning, money-changing, battery and
flag-buying we left Salalah yesterday evening and steamed out in to bandit
country.
The Royal Navy are tracking our progress to Aden, or at least I'm telling
them where I am. There is a time delay though on this blog posting in case
you were wondering about the advisability of telling everyone else where we
are.
The crew were getting a bit on the smelly side without hot and cold running
water so during my night watch I fiddled with the burnt-out pressure-switch
on the pump. It seems to have worked and now we are all fragrant again.
