Saturday, 13th June 2009.

We're now in the pirate infested waters of Algeria on a heightened state of alert. If we have to go ashore now we risk having the boat confiscated and being locked up.

Unfortunately, we've got storm warnings and no port of refuge for 500 miles (Nigeria).

Luckily, Malc kept spirits up with a very healthy Spaghetti Bolognese with Side Salad and home made dressing. Best meal so far!

Brian, Steve , John and Malc.
