Anyone came through the suez/aden recently?

Just curious of the diminishing pirate situation and of any yachts that have made the transit of late?

Up bound season hasnt started yet. Late feb is the go

[stevensuf]

I was more thinking the wrong way round Mark, from med towards oz.

Yes but upbound is first. So you will be able to gauge if its worth going down by the number of people who die coming up.

Death by terrorists include heart attacks incurred by you due to the stress of the transit, and one guy in our convoy had a heart attack after our transit, and by the relationship breakups by women who think theres gotta be men out there who will treat them more safely. Finally, quite a number who transited with us then stopped cruising.

So all in all theres lots of reasons not to go the way I did, up or down.
