Our prayers and hopes continue to be with Scott, Jean, Phyllis and Bob on SV Quest. We have no more news of them since the authorities have taken control of the incident.
Meanwhile, there are still some elements of the rally who are at sea. They are making good progress and are carefully following the safety procedures we have put in place for them.
In these worrying times I would not compromise their security, but I can advise you that the positions, progress and current situation of all current Rally participants is known and constantly being monitored by Rally Control and our ‘friends in the right places’. Friends and family of those participants who are also subscribers to the Yachtplot tracking service provided to all Rally participants are also being kept up to date by that protected means. All our crews are well, if a bit nervous.
Whilst we are keeping a 24 hour watch on our yachtsmen and women, we are also fielding a cascade of calls from American journalists. All the time our thoughts are with our brave ralliers. Let us hope the media attention finally leads to some realistic action to overcome this plague of pirates on the high seas.
