Bull****. Lifeboats are unsinkable, will float when full of water. I
crossed the atlantic, bed about fifteen feet from a lifeboat, and got
a good look at it. Talked to the crew as well. Lowering gear is pretty
complicated. They make a point of telling the passengers that there
are two lifeboat seats per person. They don't tell you that if the
ship has a fair list, you maybe can only launch half of them.

Bull**** is right..... This a "LifeRaft" inflatable and is of Rubberized
Cloth Construction.

Wrong. *Do go and get some more accurate information. *This is a
completely enclosed SOLAS lifeboat, fiberglass, food for many days, a
couple of days worth of fuel, launched from a railway at the stern of
the ship....

Since his escape was botched, you can bet they have him hog tied
below, forward.

Thermal camera and 3 quick shots from a drone is my vote. Not
politically correct.
The pirates are victims of poverty, social outcasts that need
understanding not agression, and a positive role model .

100 degrees, no fuel, no help..... just sit it out is the best option
now. They have to be miserable. It would be a good time to start
blasting some annoying music 24-7, searchlight, buzzing with helos
sonar pings...ect..ect....

Your not going to drill a hole in one, or surface a sub under
one...ect.
Out lasting them will be easy.
