Look for the eye patch, parrot on the shoulder, and the pirate hat.

Joe,

How do you know they're Pirates at a 100 yards?

"A for what's it worth" story.



I worked with a fellow who kept his shrimp boat in Hondurous.

While shrimping he was approched by a fishing vessel without nets or
doors, him and his deck hand both shot in front of the vessel as it
approched. The boat did not change course so he blew out the
wheelhouse windows and his deckhand took aim at the guy squatting
behind the bullworks. He thinks he took out the helmsman and the
vessel retreated. He knew pirates were in the area, and required his
deckhands to be able to shot cork net floats at a hundred + yards as
the shrimped. They practiced all the time. He carried a several
surplus garrands and a einfield. He also kept his empty rum bottle to
make maltaulf coctails incase a vessel got to close.

he knew that they would take his boat and use it as a raider, thats
were they get most of the boats they used. And if they take your boat
they will kill you to keep anyone from knowing. He was a tough ol
coonass and had no hesitation at all. He was always at sea, he would
come to La and run a supply boats 30 day then back south 30 day on his
off time and run his shrimp boat.

If you carry guns on your boat you better be willing to use them and
know how to use them properly. As the person you meet found out.

I was talking to a blue water sailor, years ago, When I still lived back
East. I was talking about sailing my own vessel thru the "Canal"

He said, " When you leave US Territorial Water make sure you are sailing
in a group if possible. He was sailing across the Gulf Of Mexico, with
his family, sailing alone, when he was overtaken by Pirates. They too,
were in a fishing boat. They had weapons aboard but he elected to not
use them. He told his wife to go below and hide the guns below and
behind the fresh water tank.

She went below but instead of hiding the weapons, she popped up the
forward hatch with her Beretta and took aim on the Pirate ship.

She never got a shot off. She was killed with a single shot. They said
they were zeroed in on the cockpit and hatches.

They striped his vessel pretty much as describe in the article, offering
apologies about his wife. Along with the Electronic and selection from
the freezer were his guns.

It was after that story I made the decision not to have guns or a
freezer on my boat. I've keep to it thru four boats.

By the way, I've never made it thru the "Canal"

An American Vessel was recently boarded up here by Canada Customs.... after
being turned in to the authorities by another American vessel that claimed
the boat might be smuggling drugs..... end result the Canadian authorities
fined and confiscated all firearms aboard the vessel....... they laughed at
the "drugs" and the boat got to keep the half pound of pot as
"personal"...... then they searched the vessel that accused the first boat
and confiscated all their weapons as well... which amounted to twice the
fire-power of the "drug" boat!!!!!

What a bunch of dorks!! They lost all their weapons.... never had a chance
to draw even one... and they won't be getting them back because the guns
were not declared!!!


When will you friggin' Yanks learn???!!! Smoke Pot... don't invade!!!!!!

Bwahahahahahahahahahahaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!

That just denotes a lack of imagination, cunning and strategy.... there is
a win situation.

Depends entirely on the rifle and the aim........ Long Distance - Reach
Out and Touch Someone!
Heavy Autos are intrinsically weak at long ranges.... no matter how much
lead they can deliver in a minute. I'd pick them off at 500 meters with a
338 Win Mag .... never mind a .50 cal Barnett Semi Auto at 2000 meters. If
you want up close and personal... nothing beats a shotgun.... especially a
50 round BullPup 12 ga. semi-auto. Uzi's are street cleaners only.... 30
yards max. I'd trump that with my 590A Police pump .12 ga........ then
level my 6 shot .445 SuperMag. to pick off the stragglers.

American Gun Control and Canadian Pot Laws....... we would rule the friggin'
planet!!

Unless they showed you a video of one of your own getting his head cut
off...... then you would lose it and get the friggin' jittering heebby
jeebys..... how laughable that you now decide that one form of death is
better than another!!!


Hydrostatic Shock and a stomach shot versus a beheading..........

LOCO..... you age one twisted piece of Americana!!!

Anti- Jewish!!??? Bwahahahahahahahahahahaaaaaa!!!!

Screw you weakling.... I'm "Anti" everything that doesn't profit me!!!!

Yeah, but underneath it's a good boat. His is just a piece of crap.

Not that your opinion means much, but why do you feel my boat is a
piece of crap?

It's a 100 time better that any cal 20 dink that a 12 year old could
mow lawns for a week and earn enough money to buy.

Shhhh! That's my strategy. Have a boat that looks so run-down that
nobody bothers you! Paint rust streaks down the hull, whatever.

Well, it seems like you've got all the knowledge about gays. You're
quite the expert. How did you acquire that knowledge? First "hand"
experience no doubt.

Don't know. Can you tell us?


He was asking the NG's gay boy gaynzy who sails a gay boat in the gay
capitol of the world. So tell us gaynz why are you so scared of guns,
is it the big bad loud boom sound that hurts your ears? Or the bruise
that they leave on your shoulders? You worried your boy friend might
thing you had a hissy fit with another boy?

These kind of thieves have plenty
of weapons. The best thing to do is put lipstick
on and not get too agressive
with them.
