Publisher description
In 1895, Joshua Slocum, the first man to sail alone around the world, scattered thumbtack on the sole of "Spray" to repel an attack by intruders on Tierra del Fuego. In December 2001, an attack on Sir Peter Blake's yacht in Brazil resulted in his death. "Pirates Aboard!" deals with recent cases of piracy studied by the author, who interviewed the victims of 40 cases. He asks them what lessons they learned from their hostile encounter and what they would suggest other do differently to avoid (or just survive) similar incidents. He also outlines which areas in the world are the most dangerous. This book suggests what preventive measures sailors can take and advises how they should deal with the stress, aggression and fear when faced with a confrontation
