I think there was a story on this list a while back about two cruisers in a pair of sailboats off the coast of Sudan in march 2006 who survived attack by a couple boats with automatic deck guns (capsized one, killed/disabled everyone on board the other) using a pair of 12 guage shotguns with buckshot and ramming one of the boats. Neither of the cruisers were injured. They had probably 30 seconds from the time the pirates were first seen until they turned around opened fire. This is the kind of situation one goes to every possible length to avoid, but the reality is that one cannot be ignorant of the fact that these situations happen. Such is the nature of the world we live in. -Merrill -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Norm of Bandersnatch Sent: Thursday, November 29, 2007 6:27 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Liveaboard] lv-ab: question for those who know Merrill, The problem I see is that the intruder might be in the cockpit when you needed to get to the gun.
