US Boat to Gaza on Way Out to Sea; Greece Coast Guard Stops Boat

by US to Gaza
The US Boat, The Audacity of Hope, defied Greek authorities and left the dock. There was concern that the Greek authorities would attempt to stop the boat and make arrests. The Greek coast guard had been hovering near the US boat most of the day but allowed the boat to sail. The flotilla seemed to be on its way toward Gaza but now the coast guard has stopped the boat. For more updates, see http://twitter.com/usboattogaza. (also see http://twitter.com/ibnezr, http://twitter.com/medeabenjamin, and others mentioned below)
