A friend of our family is onboard this cruise ship...at the moment trying to get out of the way of this cyclone....times are UTC. Only cruise liner shown in the area.
No wonder the pirates can find ships so easy.

Wow that cyclone better be headed for the coast or they are in trouble.

So some pirate with a laptop can sit in a hut in Somalia and check the shipping traffic for potential targets - that's great. :eek:
Demorier, I hope your friends' ship stays out of harm's way. The position they're in right now doesn't look too good. Let us know how they make out.

The first port of call was supposes to be in the Whitsunday Islands. But you have to go inside the Great Barrier Reef to do that. I'd say they've had to cancel that stop, as you have to come inside the reef about the Gladstone area and there was a cyclone in the way. Looks like they have had to stay further out to sea away from the cyclone.
