not want to leave any witnesses.

Radios. :)

Most of the arms I'm familiar with that would repel borders are
illegal for civilians to own in most countries including this one.

Damn gun control liberals. :)

A rack of TOWs, a BAR and a .50 cal deck mounted submachine gun where
the fighting chair was located would have made me feel a little
easier. :)

Actually, we were pretty safe as there were three in convoy and I'd
like to believe that we could have damaged them before they got one of
us - even if we lost a boat in the process.

Fortunately, it didn't happen.

By the way, if you ever get a chance to take a trip on a German crewed
freighter, do it.

The food was excellent.
