I see. Thats stupid. Don’t even want to know what Somali pirates or South China sea pirates would do if they capture her.

What a stupid idea.

True, but the typical circumnavigation gives those areas wide berths, and not just because of pirates.

Basically, the Horn of Africa is in no one's path for a true circumnavigation, and who'd want to have to navigate the islands N of Australia, anyway. I've sailed a lot there, and the tanker traffic is stunningly thick.

The more common West-to-East roundings (due to the prevailing winds at the Horn) take one around Africa, then the boat heads SE (avoiding both the west Indian Ocean pirates and the S China Sea types) to leave Australia & NZ to port.

Then NE to the Panama Canal or almost due east to round Cape Horn in the easier direction.

Exactly. She’d be a prime target for rape, murder, slavery and who knows what. The Dutch need to haul in her parents for encouraging this.
