Somalia Pirates - Come-uppins...

Got this from "Jane's" today.

EU's 'Atalanta' mission strikes out to confront Somali pirates
The EU is deploying an active naval task group for the first time, to deter and counter piracy off Somalia as a response to a recent sharp increase in acts of maritime crime and hostage-taking in regional waters. Warships and maritime patrol aircraft, operating under the control of a UK operation commander, are expected to start arriving in-theatre from 15 December





All I can say is: It's about time.

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.
