Evertsen and Prinsendam!!!!
I don't know if this counts as cheating or not, but I didn't actually take this shot. It was actually taken from a helicopter. The same one from yesterdays blip, (Thankyou for your kind comments BTW). So they deployed their helicopter to take photographs of the two of us, much in the same way as you do with your friends on a night out, just on a grander scale.
Anyway, the Evertsen, came alongside today, basically to say goodbye, as they will be leaving us. Thanks for the escort guys!!!!
In case any of you are interested in why the Dutch Navy have a ship in these waters, the reason is they are here to protect United Nations ships carrying food aid to Somalia, as part of the World Food Program. Almost 2 million people are dependent on this to survive. Also, they are here to pick up any refugees attempting to flee the country, although they will not be eligible to apply for asylum in the Netherlands. Not sure where they take them, but thats the official line.
