On the 8th May 2010, in broad daylight, two skiffs approached a catamaran just south of the Hamish Islands, at the southern end of the Red Sea. Six men, four of whom had machine guns, boarded the boat and stole a GPS, money, and food. Fortunately, the single-hander on board was not harmed and was able to broadcast a PAN PAN.
