May 2011 - Latitudes and Attitudes

During the ongoing research for you, the readers of this blog, I found four separate articles relating to cruisers/yachties and piracy.

Page 20, a regular column by Tania Aebi discussing changes in the Indian Ocean/Gulf of Aden over the last twenty years or so, finishing with a comment,'..practicing avoidance rather than confrontation.'

Page 40, 'A Cruise Along the Troubled Coast', concerning Venezuela.



Page 120, a write-up regarding GOST Immobilizer, a fairly inexpensive piece of kit that may help you protect your dinghy/tender.

Page 18, a short article about the Seven Seas Cruising Association's 'A Call to Action'.
