Four months after being injured on board the Mavi Marmara ship, one of the participants of late May's Gaza-bound flotilla on Saturday joined what organizers are calling "the largest flotilla yet."



Kevin Ovenden set sail from Britain Saturday morning along with 30 other activists on a voyage they dubbed "Viva Palestina." Their goal is to reach the Gaza Strip through Rafah Crossing – after docking in Egypt's el-Arish Port at the northern Sinai Peninsula.
 
"Our mission last time was to take aid in and to highlight the siege," Ovenden told CNN. "That's our mission this time."

 
Ovenden also denied claims that activists aboard the Mavi Marmara carried weapons that were used against the soldiers during the raid.
