Lats and Atts for April

From the April 2010 issue - available at www.seafaring.com and your nearest quality magazine retailer.

Paranoia Happens (pg. 62) - a humorous bit, but a nice lesson on knowing your equipment.

Lesson Learned In Paradise (pg. 67) - a nie article about meeting the better side of people.

Pirates in New Zealand (pg. 72) - it's not just a Caribbean thing!

Cruising Tips (pg 129) - All about awareness (a common theme here at Maritime Vital Asset Protection)

I'm sure I missed some stories of interest - so be sure to read every page.
