Pirate Alley with Monty Jones

Monty Jones is a licenced sailor and world traveler who is always looking for a new challenge.

Then to get more sailing experience, he decided to take the adventure of a lifetime as a crewmember on a catamaran going from the Seychelles to Alexandria, Egypt. The only problem was, those waters were infested with heavily-armed pirates.

Hear how Monty escaped with his crew, what he learnt and how he discovered a curious connection with his own spirituality.
