after the incident , as we were still escorting the yachts back to safety id had the sense to get on the satellite phone to vicente , who then got on his mobile phone ( he was shopping in carrefour ) to experts in international and maritime law , and a little while later he got back to me saying that the consensus of opinion of the experts was that there should be no problem with what i had just done ( the buck stops here ) , lady s was clearly in sovereign , not international waters and so it would be up to the somali government to take any action against me if they felt that i had something to answer for - and at the moment they couldnt even agree on what day of the week it was .
