gCaptain sources have reported this morning that S/V Quest has been attacked by pirates in the Indian Ocean, and her crew of 4 Americans are currently being held hostage.
Quest is a Davidson 58 pilot house sloop owned by Jean and Scott Adam, a couple who are 7 years into their round-the-world journey from California.
