[RPC]

We have just posted a first hand account from the yacht Bambola that was attacked by armed pirates in the Gulf of Aden in 2003.

If you have not read this very interesting account then you can view it here

Didn't this account of the Bambola appear in YM a little while back?

<A target="_blank" HREF=http://www.latitude38.com/LectronicLat/2004/0604/Jun18/June18.html#anchor481451>HERE's</A> another first-hand account from a couple of months ago: interesting in that in this case the couple successfully fought off the pirates. It might be useful to draw together a collection of such accounts.

Yes it did, you can also view extra information from Michael Briant on the links at the end of his notes on the above link, they go to his own website

There's a boat yard here that charged 200 odd quid for a lift and scrub and scratched my £2000 paint job doing it. Do they count?

Re: pirates

I guess there is more than one type of pirate!
