>It was a longer, slower voyage than originally expected, but they've arrived! Phoenicia, a replica sailing ship from 600BCE has successfully avoided the pirate zone around Somalia, and reached Mayotte in the Comoros Islands of East Africa

>Their expedition is aiming to re-create the first circumnavigation of Africa, believed to have been achieved by Phoenician mariners around 600BCE, and is an approved voyage with the Royal Geographical Society

>On their latest leg, they set out from Salalah in Oman, and chose to sail for 47 days and across 3000 miles of ocean to avoid the danger area around the Seychelles and Somalia. Their route took them within 200 miles of the Chagos Islands in the middle of the Indian Ocean, but they have arrived safely. The shown route in the illustration to the route is the route originally intended, hugging the African coastline. Today that route would be hazardous in the extreme

>There is an international crew on board the vessel, with sailors from Indonesia, Sweden, Brazil joining the British Captain Philip Beale, and also five members of the Royal Oman Navy

>The next leg of the voyage is due to leave Mayotte on 16th December 2009. The expedition will sail to Mozambique, South Africa, the Azores, Gibraltar, Tunisia, Egypt, and Lebanon before returning to Syria in July 2010 to complete the circumnavigation of Africa.
