Your post about Nigeria got me wondering. Do you guys ever have pirate problems on your type ships?

Yes, rarely, but we take precautions...the more likely scenario includes kidnapping while we are onshore. We take precautions there, too, but it still happens.

You have to consider the motivation behind a kidnap scenario. In west Africa, it is a financial transaction. They have no reason to kill you because you are worth more alive than dead. In the Middle East, money is not their motivation. Killing you and posting a video on YouTube to generate fear is their motivation. I won't travel to the ME.

Glad you can post from there Mudman, I'll be thinking of you and your family this holiday season- I remember it being tough when my son was overseas during the holidays-
What has happed to you does not define who you are-
HOW you react to what happens to you DOES!
