Dang, thats a bit worrying.
I don't own a boat but I am working on my plan for getting one to do a circumnavigation. My 'plan' for route to avoid the mess near Somalia would be to do Sri Lanka/Maldives then south to Diego Garcia and then over to Seychelles. From there due south to Madagascar - maybe cutting around the west near Glorioso Islands but possibly staying east and just going to Mauritius and then around the southern point of Madagascar.
This I would have thought would be ideal for keeping away from the craziness of Somalia. Now one would almost need to be thinking Diego Garcia direct to Mauritius so you don't get anywhere near the problem - and I bet its not ideal sailing locale but I would rather risk bad weather than an extended 'visit' with Somalian 'hosts'.
