Still at anchor Port of Suez
This morning a police siren caught my attention. Looking outside I saw a navy boat
moving around our vessel. He clearly wanted to board us as he was preparing his fenders.
I sent down the OOW, to greet the boarding party, and show them to the bridge.
It turns out they where looking for refugees from the airport, four persons were astray. The officer was very correct and politely requested a mustering of all crew, so he could compare Passports and faces.
During that time he sent a search party around the vessel to have a little look. It was all over in 40 minutes and then they left again. Nice pieces of weaponry on his boat. Would be perfect on Hugin Explorer, one on each bridge wing.
Fortvarande till ankars i Port Suez.
I morse avbroets mitt arbete av ljudet fraan en polis siren. Naer jag tittade ut saag jag en militaer baat som roerde sig runt oss. Han hade tydligt foer avsikt att borda oss eftersom han foerberedde fendrar paa sin BB sida. Jag skickade ner vakthavande styrman foer att moeta och foera upp bordnings saelskapet till bryggan. Det visade sig att de letade efter fyra flyktingar fraan flygplatsen. Befaelet var korrekt och begaerde artigt att faa genomfoera en moenstring av samtliga ombord, jaemfoera passen med alla ansikten. Under tiden saa paagick en "laettare" genomsoekning av fartyget. Det hela tog ungefaer 40 minuter, sedan gav de sig ivaeg. Praktfull bevaepning paa hans skuta. De skulle passa utmaerkt paa Hugin Explorer, en pjaes paa vardera brygg vinge.
