To be fair, they were best part of 1000 miles off the coast. You'd think you'd be safe that far away.

Do you know how far the Seychelles are from Somalia? It's about 600 miles. Anyone wanting to sail from the Mediterranean to the Indian Ocean has to pass a damned sight closer than that! If you look at their course it's hard to see how they could give the Somalia a wider berth, unless you say the whole of Africa is now out of bounds.
