A Whale of a Tale: Over an Indian Ocean speed bump
Article Abstract:
An account of a journey on the Indian Ocean toward the Maldives, which stopped abruptly as the boat pitched over a sperm whale's backside, is given. In a reflex action the sonar was switched on to see if any more sleeping whales were in the vicinity so that it would wake them up, but no blood staining in the sea indicated that no harm was done and hence the journey was continued on further.

People and Food: The Paranoia Patrol
Article Abstract:
A group of sailors aboard Daq' Attack in Salalah, Oman, formed their 'Paranoia Patrol' as a measure against war in Iraq, and pirate attacks off the coasts of Yemen and Somalia. Finally when the last hook splashed down in Eritrea, relief swept over the fleet and the party began where they were served with a huge platter of hot, fragrant focaccia.
