pirates might be a problem though ey

As I've said a few times before, CVosmo is GT nirvana.... I saw fish there that would scare even the most seasoned GT anglers, and that was just on the flats in 3 ft of water!!!

I will try dig up a couple of the giants taken by the Swoffing guys, fish of over 130cm fork lengths taken wading the flats on fly gear....

My trip there was on that boat, the Indian Ocean Explorer..... Unfortunately she is now in the possseion of a bunch of bastard Somali pirates.....

Luke - I'm telling you mate, your 80 kilo plus is crusing those channels mate....

Yup as Andre said unfortunately all live aboard safaris to the outter atolls are currently shut down by the Sey government due to piracy.

The naval presence off the somali coast and in the gulf of Aden has meant they've shifted their piracy operations to the south east and Sey doesn't really have a decent navy to deter them.

I can't believe it's taking them so long to resolve this situation but I guess its a big bit of ocean.
