The article said — We could not locate the lifeboat,” a pirate on the ship told Reuters.

I guess they’re not using GPS, then... :-)
What I want to know is who pays for the fuel for their “joy-riding” around? Does the company who owns the ship pay for refills? LOL...
stupid pirates it is... or maybe they felt the butterflies in their stomachs.
God is in control!
He messed up their directionals. Maybe He even placed a cloud in front of them and they couldn't see the lifeboat through it!
Prayers for Captain. We want you home for Easter.
Spiegel said that he pirates were able to move to safety too quickly.
Perhaps that had something to do with nearly getting lost.
The German language side of Spiegel is leading with this story and has frequent updates. They have a good slideshow there as well.
The English language site isn't as up-to-date on this story yet as the German site is.
I doubt it was a serious attempt in the first place. These guys have their ship. They’re sitting on a multi-million dollar payday. They aren’t going to risk losing that by getting too close to the Navy ships where someone might to something crazy, like storm the ship and take it away or something. These guys are criminals. They aren’t going to stick their necks out for another mob of pirates unless there’s something in it for them.
