sovereign risk: pirates, page-22

crarg,

Sever my timber. I mean shiver my timber there's pirates in Africa. Huh, who knew.

But seriously how can there pee wee little fishing boats take on an iron ore bulk carriers. Chances are they will get an escort upto a certain distance as far and safe from land as possible, from then there on there own. I dont believe the African (Somali) pirates venture too far from the horn of Africa. After South Africa if the iron ore carriers travel in a straight line across the Indian Ocean(in which i assume they probably do)they will be miles away from the Somali coast and the pirates.

Cheers.
