Just getting into the cruising lifestyle.. saw a lame post here
about
piracy
on the sea, but it did bring to mind some stories I've heard about
problems
people have had, especially in Mexico. My questions a

Is piracy a problem at all really? Or only in certain areas and
only
rarely?

Check out http://www.noonsite.com/General/Piracy and
http://www.yachtpiracy.com/en/index.htm

Good sources for current info. Judge for yourself. Mexico may be
rough, but there's plenty rougher.

Albania is a hot bed of piracy?

Albania?

~~ sheesh ~~

Albania is the Columbia of Europe. Was odd that Clinton went to bat
for
them in the Serb / Albanian conflict. But Clinton did like drugs
according
to his brother.

But, but, but.....

There aren't any people IN Albania!! :)

You are saying the 3,544,808 (July 2004 est.) residents are not really
people?

No - not at all. I was under impression that there weren't ANY
residents of Albania for some reason. :)

Which brings up an interesting point. Is Albania still a Communist
Republic?
