Pirate headz

Postby flipflop » Sat Mar 12, 2011 9:17 am

Some phots from my last transit. Nae botha, but a non-secured tanker got attacked 9NM behind us one evening when we were near Oman. A Turkish warship picked up the mayday call and deployed a helo, which fired warning shots and the pirates did one. We saw nothing of it, as it was as black as a witch's tit out there, but listening in to a terrified watch officer begging for help on the radio was eye-opening.

I know the law. And I have spent my entire life in its flagrant disregard.

It is a guess that when pirates get close they start blasting with the fire hoses

I know, I tried to work with the normals at home last year after Afghan, but got bored to fuck with it.

It's a chemical tanker so normally it's for fire-fighting. In the high-risk zone flooding the deck with foam and soaking the upper deck and sides makes it harder for the pirates to get on and into the superstructure.

The reasoning: apparently Somalis have an aversion to falling water/rain

Indian, they were running the escort westbound in the IRTC, where no pirates are left. "Piss-up" "organise" and "brewery" spring to mind

It will be an allouette III then or whatever they call the ones built in the Raj.
