No ****, I live in San Diego and I've never been to Mexico. I try to stay
out of third-world countries with mostly corrupt governments. Not to go too far off topic here, but one of our TV stations here in SD transmits from Baja, and is required to air Mexican governmental announcements from time to time. There are two announcements, one saying that the vast majority of crime in Mexico is unreported and if you're kidnapped or raped or whatever you should report it to the police. The second one is an advertisement for the entire Mexican senate saying Don't lose faith in us we're trying really hard. I think I'll stay out of Mexico. "Parallax" wrote in message om...

"Geoff Schultz" wrote It's not like you're sailing along whne you suddenly see a skull and crossbones appear on the horizon and then you're boarded with grappling hooks. That's the stuff of movies. Don't be so sure, Geoff, just last month I was sailing along when I spotted this boat http://www.enter.net/photoalbum/data...non/999784.JPG headed straight towards me. Closer & closer he charged, till he was in range, then I emptied the 12 gauge at him and he turned away. And this was in MD. -- Scott Vernon Plowville Pa _/)__/)_/)_ Government seizure of boats in Mexico IS a problem. A friend of mine was sailing from FL to belize when he stopped in Cancun because he was having trouble breathing. He went to a doc there who advised him to immediately return to the US for treatment so he left his 34' boat there. It was seized by the authorities there for violating his time to stay. He was unable to contact anyone in Mexico while he was in treatment so was unable to extend his stay if that was even possible. He got a lawyer in mexico but was not successful. He got US officials to intervene to no avail. At one time he even asked me to fly to cancun with him and swim out to her and sail away in the night but I said no. Eventually, the Mexicans told him the boat had been sold. The message: Do not sail to mexico. |
REAL question about piracy at sea
Check out how the Russian Navy dealt with the Somalis - it's all in Russian,
but the end result is pretty clear. Bet the Somalis don't target the Russians much any more... http://true-turtle.livejournal.com/85315.html The commentary from another cruiser: Not exactly politically correct but probably very effective. RUSSIAN NAVY CAPTURES SOMALI PIRATES How about that - The Russians captured the Pirates, tied them up, put them on the boats, then set them all on fire - puff no more Pirates! NO POLITICAL CORRECTNESS BS HERE! This video shows Russian Navy commandos on a Somalian pirate ship shortly after the pirates had captured a Russian oil tanker. The Euro Union navy that patrols these waters would not interfere because they feared there could be casualties. All explanations are in Russian with a single exception of when a wounded pirate says something in English and the Russian soldier says "This is not a fishing boat". All conversations between the commandos are in Russian. If you don't understand Russian, the pictures speak for themselves. The soldiers freed their compatriots and the tanker. The Russian Navy Commandos moved the pirates back to their own (pirate) ship, searched the pirate ship for weapons and explosives and then they left the ship and exploded it with all remaining pirates hand-cuffed to it. The commandos sank the pirate ship along with the pirates and without any court proceedings, lawyers etc. That is, they used the anti-piracy laws of the 18th and 19th centuries where the captain of the rescuing ship has the right to decide what to do with the pirates. Usually, they were hung. I would think from now on, Russian ships will not be targets for Somali pirates.
