.:.Doesn't anyone remember the great yachtsman Sir Peter Blake, murdered by
.:.pirates in Brazil, and not so long ago?
.:.Seems it can happen to anyone....
Yep, it can. Head hunters killed and ate one of the Rockefeller brothers in
New Guinea, too. But being boarded and killed is more likely to happen to
you in any US city than while cruising, particularly if you use a bit of
common sense.
The point is that "pirates" rate way down my list of things to worry about
on a cruise behind storms, half submerged containers, sleeping whales,
uncharted rocks and reefs, mistakes in navigation, rigging failure, fire and
propane explosion. Not to mention typhoid, malaria, and corrupt government
officials.
