We can lay to rest the heated discussion that arose a while back about whether the teenager, laura dekker, should be sailing in pirate infested waters. Firstly, she did not disclose her destination on her blog and shut down her website's gps link, feeling that keeping her route undisclosed to the public would be safer.... then a reader suggested that an evil pirate could figure out where she was by analyzing the weather and sea conditions she always included in her daily transmissions... so... they put the blog pulication on 2 weeks delay.
So........ where is Laura?.................. The blog is now current and sometime today or tomorrow she arrives in Durban, South Africa. A 6000 nautical mile, seven week passage across the Indian Ocean.... Darwin to Durban! Lots of storms and difficult sailing... Way to go Laura!
