Episode Synopsis
An unexpected change of sea route means less stress for some sailors
Today we take another look at the lives of sailors at sea, and talk about how some ships that formerly transited the Suez Canal are now taking a longer route around the southern tip of Africa, to avoid violent vessel attacks in the Red Sea.
The result for diverted ships has been voyages that last about two weeks longer than before. The unexpected perk for sailors on board has turned out to be reduced stress, more job statisfaction, more time to do their work, and obtain needed training.
