    I don't understand why they just don't kill them and let the bodies wash ashore. Might make the next group think twice before putting to sea.

    I can't believe you would let them die Capt_A. I think the Dutch had it right with the keelhauling in the 1600's, and they even did that to their own people.

    I don't think anyone survived a proper keelhauling, did they?

    That's the beauty of it. You can go fast and just cause broken bones, scrapes, and cuts. They will survive again and again hopefully.

    Ahh, I see your point... Using today's high tech render/recover winch technology, we could give them a wild ride. I like it!

    Modern anti-fouling paints might take some of the edge off of it though.

    I would think the desired goal was achieved with a good build up of crustacea and marine growth...Kinda like salt in the wound..


    If the various governments take this, " don't ask , don't tell " style policy , unless it effects them directly .The pirates get a free pass...This effects everyone in the long run..These companies are going to be making this money back on the future business..
