I guess there is always a risk, however it seems to have decreased significantly from what I understand. Regardless we will take the appropriate precautions informing the authorities of our sail plan course etc, sticking to well populated coastal areas close to but not in the shipping lane and ensuring we clear the straights during the day. I think there is more danger from the other ships due to congestion than piracy.
Are you interested. We will cast off this Sat afternoon.
Cheers.
Ben.
