Gotta rely on navigational training. I use a sextant as backup. Luckily I avoided any major storms but timing was key. One of the things I learned was NOAA reports are half-assed at best. It was exhausting but saw parts of the world I never thought I would, ever. My faith was built strong on that adventure.
yeah i know some guys in shipping and certain parts of the oceans are no-go unless you're ready to start blasting. One guy i know got into a firefight off the coast of africa with 3 high speed boats that chased them down... as soon as they got within firing range the boats started shooting... and so did everyone on my friends vessel.
they unloaded on them, and all three boats got the fuck outta there as fast as they came at them... one of them with smoke billowing out.
thats some scary shit if you ask me... enough boats and they might not have stopped.
they had to line the sides of the container boat with razor wire where all the access points were, he said thats a pretty common practice.
Right. Barbaric bastards. I have zero desire to go anywhere in Africa. Really nowhere muslim either. I did my time with them, and then some. Unless things get better my traveling days are over. Had a trip to Norway planned but don’t think that’s gonna happen. More socialist devastation imo.

Right on man, like i said... jealous as hell you got to do that.
Did you ever venture into pirate waters? (ARRRRRRRRRRRRR)
Off the Coast of Nicaragua & Honduras it got spicey. That’s what flare guns are for 😎👍🏽 I avoided South China Sea...a wide berth from there.
