There’s a lesson here.
If you plan on going out on the high seas with people you don’t know real well, much less outnumbered 3 men to you and your wife, uh.....don’t do it.
In fact, as soon as you see them coming towards your boat, even if it’s in the harbor......get off it and make some noise.
Don’t trust anyone. Tom Hawks made a fatal error in allowing these creeps on the boat and it cost him and his wife their lives.
As I always say, nobody ties me up and nobody catches me by surprise. At least not going out on a boat with some men I don’t know real well.......No way.
It’s sad that these folks probably never thought anyone would want to hurt - especially over a boat. Trusting will get you killed.
