Photos: Research trip for The Devil's Waters
The Blue Window of Gozo, off Malta, my starting place.
The CMA CGM Hydra, my ship. Impossibly huge, 3.5 football fields long.
The port of Malta behind us.
Dado, the Croatian captain, and Razvan "Vlad the Impaler," Romanian chief engineer. Great guys, and extraordinarily helpful with my research.
Our massive ship entering the Suez Canal, in line.
The very complex, computerized engine control room of the Hydra.
The captain, Dado, has challenged me to steer his massive cargo ship straight.
The results of my efforts to steer the 353 meter long Hydra straight. The crew thought we were under attack.
Dado and his lovely wife, Valnea, a scholar and perfect companion.
The wake at 23 knots; why pirates do not attack these ships from the stern.
In the Suez Canal.
Razvan Uta, the Romanian chief engineer. Had the entire ship in his head.
Chief recreating an accident that will happen in The Devil's Waters. All these guys played along.
Dado playing captain. Okay, he really was captain.
Me wearing a RAM chute.
PJ and CRO's getting ready for a night jump in Djibouti.
In Kenya. That's a rhino. He's close.
