I have an interest in live aboard sailing and have been following reports of pirates in the Gulf of Aden. They have been attacking private yachts for quite a while now. There have been efforts to create a corridor for private non commercial vessels to pass.

 

Many people retire to boats, much like RVs. They cruise the world or just stick to the Caribbean and such.

It's nice to see that the Brit's ball have dropped after that last incident and that they fired back. I think that allowing themselves to be captured last time was a serious PR nightmare for them, and their standing orders for engagement have been changed. About time some of those pirates met the end of a few navy missles.
