Pirates?

They’re not just in the movies! Pirates actually exist today. On our way to Vietnam, the night we went through the Strait of Malacca, Captain Jeremy sped the ship up to about 26 nautical miles per hour, the fastest we’ve gone thus far. There were also supposed to be extra crew members on lookout for the night. (Although Captain Jeremy said he has never seen a pirate ship, and doesn’t know what they look like) There are apparently frequent pirate attacks in this area, but only one occurrence of a pirate ship attacking a passenger vessel. Unfortunately we did not see any pirate ships. I was hoping to see some pirates. I think it would have been fun. It would have made a great story anyhow. But for now we are sailing safe and pirate free.
