Thought you might be interested in the ship security. Yip, that's them. Relaxing in the shade and manning the LRAD (sonic cannon). Not sure what LRAD stands for - that's what Google's for. Look it up. I have to say, the LRAD isn't quite as scary as an ACTUAL cannon. And apparently the pirates get a verbal warning before they're blasted with it. Quite thoughtful really as it means they can go, "Oh, cheers, mate. We'll just pop in our ear plugs. Off you go then."
I thought we'd be seeing lots of other ships by now. So far, just the one. It was so immense it took us a while to figure out, through the haze, whether it was a land mass or just a frigging big ship. It was so laden with containers, and moving so slowly, I can bet pirates were looking at it thinking it was an easy, juicy target.
Hundreds of dolphins about today. They look so tiny, everyone thinks they're midget versions. However, I think it's just because we're so high up...
And before I go, can I just have a rave about the almond croissants that are baked each day. Petite sized, crispy outer, chewy texture, fresh-as almond paste laden with slivered almonds. My God it's lucky I go to the gym each day (although it's a losing battle of the bulge).
