Our Captain is describing the ships that are in the Red Seas when we went thru.
Between OMAN and Yemen. We are doing fine we had high speeds. This was what he said in his blog.
To our south, a convoy is bound north-east; 9 cargo ships, of varying nationalities and size, are being escorted by 2 warships. The cargo ships are the 'plodders', relatively slow, they need their 'shepherds' to accompany them, a deterrent from the 'wolves' that lurk in wait, although far fewer in number, no-one is taking chances. It hearkens back to days gone by, the convoy system across the the Atlantic, when the 'wolves' were U-boats, except now they're skiffs.
