...join the crew in pushing the boat off the beach. Then jump in and jam your feet into the ropes on the boat floor as the captain guns the outboards. Bottlenose dolphins are common - look for fins breaking the surface. Humpbacks also abound in season (August to November). Graceful mantas can be spotted by their white undersides as they turn backflips under the surface. But there is nothing, of course, to beat seeing a whale shark. These leviathans evolved more than 60 million years ago, and swimming with one is the marine equivalent of walking with a dinosaur. See visitmozambique.net...

A day later, the Spanish navy arrested two of the presumed pirates and deported them for trial in Madrid. That might have been a triumph for law and order, had the rest of the pirate gang not still been aboard the Alakrana, holding its crew captive...
...Yellow Sea, off the peninsula's west coast. According to the South Korean joint chiefs of staff, a North Korean gunboat ventured about a mile into what Seoul claims is its territorial waters. The South Koreans issued verbal warnings and then fired warning shots. In response, the North Korean boat peppered the South's patrol vessel with gunfire. The South Koreans returned fire and, they claimed, badly damaged the North Korean boat. Unlike the most recent naval clash - in which six South Korean sailors were killed in 2002 - Seoul said there were no casualties. It was unclear whether any North...
