I definitely recommend this type of activity. Basically a grassroot effort to keep information flowing, not just security issues, but across the whole spectrum of activities.

Towing Issues

In the continued belief that protecting your vital asset is not just defense against armed thugs, here is an article on how to protect yourself against unscrupulous tow operators. Not an everyday occurrence, but worth reading about.

Noonsite articles for 02 Nov....

An update on the British couple taken by Somali pirates - http://www.noonsite.com/Members/sue/R2009-11-02-4/view - seems the pirates realize they are not the source of unimaginable wealth as first thought.
Off Nicaragua, a 47' sailing yacht was boarded - http://www.noonsite.com/Members/sue/R2009-11-02-2/view.
Somewhere the lawyers are developing the legal definitions between pirates, thieves, misunderstood fishermen, local rights activists, etc. Bottom line, asshats with guns and bad intentions are out there - denying otherwise can lead to a rude (and deadly) realization. Take care of yourselves while cruising - enjoy but be aware.

I just finished reading 'Meditation on Violence' by Rory Miller.
Highly recommended reading for self-defense/security minded folks.
A few quotes from the book.
From the preface - Never, ever, ever delegate responsibility for your own safety. Never, ever, ever, override your own experience and common sense on the say-so of some self-proclaimed 'expert'.
Never, ever, ever ignore what your eyes see because it isn't what you imagined.

And later - In general, respond to the situation as it is. Not to your fantasy and not to your paranoia.
