Pirates take American yacht...what to do?

[terrylowe]

Americans captured by pirates

Another pirated vessel. :shocked2: There have been all kinds of responses to this behavior from "paying the ransom" to "storming the ship".

What do you think is the best way to handle it?
Dirk Pitt?

S.E.A.L.s, worked last time.

I would assemble a fleet of private yachts and crew them with seal teams, some in board shorts, some in bikinis with blonde wigs and arm them to the teeth with suitable munitions to take out fast speed boats.

There is a potential for a profitable charter opportunity here, I'm sure...


All the best, James

Mike Nelson!

I just do not understand why commercial and private vessels transit those waters without security on-board or escort until permanent solutions to the problem are found...

Not Dirk Pitt. Juan Cabrillo and the Oregon. Fast, master of disguise well armed, all the tech gadgets needed.

Los Zetas. Send a bunch over there, leave them in a few boats, and they'll start extorting the pirates.

This may be a job for The Oregon files . If not, then Dirk Pitt or Kurt Austin will do just fine.

EDIT....dmoore beat me to it.
