We Entered an Active Pirate Zone (And Almost Panicked)
A day after a pirate distress call, we sail straight into the same red zone off the coast of Yemen.
We rehearse our plan. Unmarked boats begin closing in. Every shadow feels wrong.
Relief comes… but the night isn’t done with us. As birds swarm the boat and darkness settles in, a distant light appears — and everything goes quiet.
