This web site also lists areas of concern for high seas piracy.

I have been watching this web site for a year or so, and this is about an average week with an incident a day.

I spent 5 years cruising the Pacific on my sailboat and felt much safer than I would walking down the streets in our nations capitol.

One of my cruising friends carries two stainless steel shotguns, pump style. One with shot to sweep the decks, the other with slug to sink the boat. He's repelled one boarding party so far, by just cocking the shotgun.

Many cruisers are very well armed, and they are extremely dangerous. I wouldn't be surprised to find out that there are a certain number of pirates that get shot up, and their boats towed out to sea and sunk, without reports being filed. There are just too many cruisers with non-trivial armaments aboard wafting about the Carribean.
