    I love that Cruise Mapper shows your current destination as “Armed Guard on Board”. I remember those good old pirate days aboard Regent Seven Seas’ Mariner when we went from Tel-Aviv to Dubai with four retired Israeli soldiers. On their last day on board they had dinner in one the specialized restaurants and Nevil and I had a chat with them for a good half hour.

    I am so enjoying reading about your adventures, but this one with the pirates, while exciting, leaves me a bit anxious. Your positive outlook always impresses me, Doris, but I wonder if you ever have an uh-oh moment. Enjoy! Be safe! I’ll be thinking of you and Louis. Polly (Ecuador trip. AH!)

    Remarkable reporting! Thank you. May the pirates not notice the giant white ship with its lights off. And may the Muscle enjoy their shipboard cuisine.
