i went down a rabbit hole on solar yachts the other day, watched a bunch of people trying to circumnavigate on nothing but solar... the one constant aside from having to plan each leg of the trip to be perfect conditions (cheating, lol) was that when they sailed around africa... they picked up an armed security team for that portion of the voyage.
none of them were attacked or even approached but you could tell they were all shittin peach seeds
Wow. Pretty cool project. One day I ducked into the Intercoastal in Florida and had to hold fast while the Moonraker yacht pulled out. Had a few dozen YOUNG crew. It didn’t abide the no wake rules...and it was amazing. Supercharged me.

Daaang. I’m a believer in their fear. Dealing with rabid animals. All that aside...solar yachts...ok.
yeah these solar yachts are loaded to the gills and super expensive.
this one in particular had a huge crew: Chasing the Sun - First world tour on a giant boat powered by solar energy - https://youtu.be/zbE5aEVTVDs
