Irish aid ship delays voyage to Gaza

(CNN) -- An Irish-owned aid ship headed for Gaza is delaying its voyage for a while to get equipped with video capabilities and satellite transmission to record what is happening at any given moment on the vessel, a Free Gaza Movement activist told CNN.

It seems that MV Rachel Corrie is heading home to get fitting with live feed and sat tracking equipment to help keep the IDF in check when they board the ship.

Rather interesting turn of events for this particuler issue, as the IDF was offering to escort them to Ashdod port, and unload it.

I think this is a good move by the Captain and crew, definitely will give us some ideas truth should anything occur upon the meeting between the ship and the IDF.

Judging by what the article says, they are simply gearing up for when they actually do go.

And it seems they expect to experience some issues since they are gearing up the ship with monitoring and live feed capabilities etc.
