Opis

In 1895, Joshua Slocum, the first man to sail alone around the world, scattered thumbtacks on the sole of the SPRAY to repel intruders on Tierra del Fuego. In 2001, an attack on Sir Peter Blake's yacht on the Amazon resulted in his death. The result of many dozens of interviews and years of research, Pirates Aboard! is an unflinching look at the brutal activities of twenty-first century pirates and exposes the very real danger faced by sailors around the world today. Hympendahl asks the victims of pirate attacks what lessons they learned from their hostile encounter and what they would suggest others do differently to avoid (or just survive) similar incidents. Their candid accounts make for compelling reading and provide invaluable advice. He then gives an appraisal of which areas in the world are the most dangerous, including Somalia, the Gulf of Aden, Venezuela, Guatemala, Ecuador, Honduras, Nicaragua, and parts of Brazil. This unique document suggests what preventive measures sailors can take and advises how they should deal with stress, aggression, and fear when faced with a confrontation.
