SWS,
Did you have a shotgun or any kind of defense? I would assume
pirates do
not want to leave any witnesses.

Radios. :)

Here's another thread on pirates with some good links to other sites.

Most of the arms I'm familiar with that would repel borders are
illegal for civilians to own in most countries including this one.

Damn gun control liberals. :)

A rack of TOWs, a BAR and a .50 cal deck mounted submachine gun where
the fighting chair was located would have made me feel a little
easier. :)

Actually, we were pretty safe as there were three in convoy and I'd
like to believe that we could have damaged them before they got one of
us - even if we lost a boat in the process.

Fortunately, it didn't happen.

By the way, if you ever get a chance to take a trip on a German crewed
freighter, do it.

The food was excellent.

SWS,
Is there a web site that lists freighters who accept passengers?
