I still do not understand why ships that sail that part of the world do not have like eight 50 cals shooting at suspect boats coming alongside. 50 cals are tough and when used, work!!!!

I’m still trying to figure out why ships don’t just avoid this stretch of coast. Sail further out to sea when passing this area … I would think the extra time and fuel would be worth it. But, what do I know? ;-)
