NON C'E' PACE


Chi e' venuto a trovarmi ricordera' le gite a Ras Al Hadd e Ras Al Jinz nonche' la rustica guesthouse del buon Paolo dove soggiorno quando mi trovo da quelle parti. Per ribadire il concetto che nel Sultanato non si sta mai sereni, la BBC ha pubblicato ieri un interessante articolo.

A cargo vessel has been hijacked by suspected Somali pirates off the coast of Oman - the first such attack in the area, Nato says.

MV Charelle, under the Antigua and Barbuda flag, was attacked 60 nautical miles south of Sur on the Omani coast. It was the "first case of armed robbery outside the [pirates'] normal operations area," Lt Cmdr Alexandre Fernandes told Reuters news agency.

The vessel is now thought to be heading towards Somalia.

Lt Cmdr Fernandes, on board a Portuguese anti-piracy patrol near the Gulf of Aden, said the pirates were "probably looking for other areas of operations where there are less patrols by warships".

Per il momento sospendero' le battute di pesca coi simpatici butei della zona (ricorderete "Grezzolo" e l'intelleggibile Khan). Non aspiro ad essere sequestrata dai pirati somali mentre faccio snorkeling... Uffa!
