I'm reading it right now. Not bad so far...but not great either.
To: NittanyLion
Thanks. I guess I'll probably wait and get it at Half Price later then.

Nothing a couple of Ma Dueces wouldn't solve right quick. Maybe more on larger ships. Even a (few).50 BMG rifle(s) would have a good effect, and would be easier to procure and maintain.

It seems the Pacific Rim/South Pacific is contributing more to the problem than anything. Have you heard of any serious incidents in the Carribean recently?

A bill has been introduced which mandates the registration of all shoulder-mounted parrots (SMPs).
The problem with this is the fact that, when parrots are outlawed, only pirates will have parrots.
Perhaps it would help to require the registration of the various crackers most often requested by said birds.
"Polly want a cracker!!"
"Not without a permit".....

Colombia seems to be a little safer, and Venezuela a little riskier for yachties lately. That's what I read.

Few pirates have been caught in Indonesia. Those brought to trial receive minimal sentences. All those merchant vessels need to be armed. If the pirates ain't alive, you don't have to worry about minimal sentences.
