I’m always *Grumpy*! If I had my way, I would suggest a trip to the Bahamas area. *Note*, I said absolutely nothing about landing! Now the debate begins, What altitude? Do we want them to become environmentalists? I was thinking about something more like, “Life Sustaining Members of the Shark Preservation Society”.

I know. I know. My first choice was to scuttle the vessel with all aboard.
You seem a little Grumpy.

Maybe the assault rifles were for shooting fish in a barrel?

But wait!,How do you expect those poor innocent fishermen to protect themselves from pirates (you do know there are pirates in those waters, don’t you?) if you confiscate all their weapons?

Yep. “Alleged.” Innocent until proven guilty. Even in cases where you witnessed the crime and KNOW they’re guilty. Gotta wait on the courts to rule.

Thus my old newspaper didn’t call folks “illegal aliens,” because uninvited people crossing our borders were often later ruled LEGAL immigrants. They ditched “aliens” because it made them sound like sci-fi monsters. Honest.

Be careful of what you’re fishing for, you’re liable to catch it. With some assistance from the Navy SEALS, they caught it.

@Wilko, during this same event, this was a US Flagged Vessel. Therefore, we were minding our own business.

I liked the cruise site, their rates are low and the rental is cheap )
