Great talking with you Wayne!
In amongst our conversation, I was talking about "Gandalf the Green",
a sailing vessel that caught my attention in rec.boats.cruising. At the instant of concern, it was in Tailand and was fine, but another story caught my eye, and it was this one.... http://www.sailingmagazine.net/compo...?directory=152 BTW, I thought it was a 40 ft, sloop. I was wrong. it's 47ft, steel hulled cutter. |

More of the incident. http://www.sail-world.com/USA/index....=0&tickerCID=0 ========= No one who values their life or their boat should be sailing in the Gulf of Aden, with or without a gun. It's like walking around in a tough inner city neighborhood at night with a sign that says: "I'm a tourist". The penalties for getting caught with an illegal gun in some countries are almost as severe as a pirate attack. We met a family last year in the islands that had a beautiful home made 53 ft sailboat. The details and finish were professional in every respect and one of it's "features" was a hidden/secret gun compartment. It was empty. |

You arm the teeth out of a bunch of vacationing executives and send them out on a "bait boat" to the gulf. When the pirates come, the executives get to open up on them with everything they got. You could have a pool for things like who blew the first pirates head clean off his body, and who killed the most pirates, who sunk the first pirate vessel, etc... It would be like a cross between the two tv shows, bait car and cash cab...  |

You could charge extra for training sessions with advanced weaponry like RPGs and heat seeking missiles. |

I would probably have 2 hidden somewhere on a 40-50 footer. -- Flea party (leftie) fear, begets flea party smear. |

All the rich executives could do a western theme or a Dirty Harry theme, and all dress up to kill the pirates... Imagine the possibilities. Kids could have birthday parties and do a powerpuffs girls theme, dress up like Sailor moon, and blow the hell out of the pirates. Instead of pin the tail on the donkey, you could play, pin the 50 caliber tracer in the pirates eye Of course there would be a few highly trained ex special forces there to "help" the kids with the big booms... |
