On Tethys first circumnavigation, Nancy and crew went up the Red Sea. That was 1993 and even then, pirates were a worry, especially off the coast of Ethiopia and Yemen. On the second circumnavigation, we stayed well off the coast of Africa, opting to go south through the Maldives, west to Seychelles and Mayotte, hop over to Madagascar's northwest coast then head straight for northern South Africa. The weather and seas are quite a bit wilder there and small boat pirates likely don't find it as easy to climb aboard a tanker underway.
