Hi folks.


Just wanted to know if there are any known online resources with
respect to pirates. *No, not the peg leg eye patch kind, but the real
kind on the water. *I want to investigate how real these stories are
that I hear about.


If you ask over is rec.boats.sailing, you'll probably find some live
discussion about them. * a couple or three years ago, I'd say, there
were some people tha were aproached by latter-day pirates, and fended
themselves with shotguns. Not sure though.


But a sail ship cald "Gandolf the Green" comes to mind....


I would prefer just killing them outright.

As in an RPG smack dab in the middle of the boat.

Leave the survivors to the sharks.


Unfortunately I don't own such items, and I asked at the drugstore
today, and they are out too.


Roll your own. :)

Pretty easy to make a nice, nasty Molotov Cocktail only instead of
gas, use gun powder. Sweeten that with some roofing nails, a few
pieces of magnesium, 'ya got 'cha some elementary RPG material.

Some surgical tubing to launch and just let 'em get close enough -
wham, bam, thank you mam - toasted pirates.
