Pirates
















I went on my first cruise this summer and did have some concerns over hurricanes and pirates. Everyone laughed at my concerns. A hurricane did hit the islands we had just visited just one week after we returned home. Cruise ships that were in the area were redirected to other areas and added a few "fun days a sea." (Basically you are trapped on the ship with 3000 of your friends.) Well today there is a story about pirates trying to hijack a cruise ship. I was glad to hear that the captain gunned his engines and out ran the pirates. I have a hard time understanding how the pirates in little boats take over big ships! So hats off to the captain of the cruise ship for outrunning the pirates.
