Not on the Pemba ferry

I'm case you may have read the NYtimes article about a ferry capsizing from Zanzibar to Pemba, I would like to assure you that I was not on that ferry. I am over 100 miles away on Lake Victoria where after a similar tragedy 15 years ago the government has gone to enormous lengths to ensure safety standards for ferry travel.

My heart goes out to the families of those aboard that ship.
