The couple’s website svquest.com has detailed their journey at sea, but it has not been updated recently. According to the website, the Adams had chosen to leave Los Angeles and take to the sea.

The Adams writes on their website “Another aspect of our travels is friendship evangelism – that is, finding homes for thousands of Bibles.” The Adams detail their travels from Mexico to the South Pacific, and list their yacht the S/V Quest registered to Marina Del Rey. “We were so unhappy being ‘dirt dwellers’ during our time in the States that another floating abode had to be acquired,” Jean Adam write on their website.

But the couple have not updated the website since December 21 last year.

Andrew Mwangura, the maritime editor of Somalia Report, tells the New York Times that the couple were intercepted roughly three hundred miles off of Oman. They had sent out an SOS which unfortunately was intercepted by the pirates.

The couple wrote the following about the Red Sea entry. “Djibouti is a big refueling stop. I have NO idea what will happen in these ports, but perhaps we’ll do some local touring. Due north is the Red Sea where we plan to tuck in when winds turn to the north.”

The Somalia’s U.N. Mission is demanding the couple’s immediate release. The State Department has yet to issue a statement to news Saturday.
