Pirates of the Caribbean - no, I'm serious
While I am personally all for blowing pirates to their eternal reward, I
have to imagine that there might be legal repercussions to such activities. Unless, of course, you have obtained your Letter of Marque prior to going cruising. ;-) -- Karin Conover-Lewis Fair and Balanced since 1959 klc dot lewis at centurytel dot net "Larry W4CSC" wrote in message ...

Trollin' aside, I have a German friend who says you only need Russian hand grenades, easily obtained in many places according to him. Off of Thailand he was attacked single handing his boat by a high speed boat. They shot over his head but didn't shoot directly at the prize they were after, his yacht. When they came within throwing range he simply dropped one of these grenades into the boat before the boarders could reach his rail and they were so busy scrambling in the bilge for the "egg" they veered off before it exploded. The effect was devastating, a total destruction. That was the only place he's been attacked but his boat is full of the arms you make fun of. He says anyone not heavily armed cruising anywhere is totally crazy.... I can think of no easier targets than most of the yachtsmen I know.....As a group, the moneyed elite are awfully naive. As to using the radio, what's the point? Noone's going to help you except to maybe come look for your body, floating face down long after it's over. Hell, I'm amazed the local marinas aren't regularly ransacked, here. |
