Anyone for a cruise?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I found a Somalia cruise package that departs from Sawakin (in the
Sudan) and docks at Bagamoya (in Tanzania).
The cost is a bit high but it seems well worth it. What I found
encouraging and enlightening is that the cruise line is encouraging
people to bring their own high powered weapons along. If you don't have
weapons you can rent them right there on the boat. They claim to have a
master gunsmith on board and will have reloading parties every
afternoon. The cruise lasts from 4-8 days. All the boat does is sail up
and down the coast of Somalia waiting to get hijacked by pirates. Here
are some of the costs and claims associated with the package:
$800.00 US/per day per person, double occupancy (4 day minimum)
M-16 full automatic: rental $25.00/day with ammo at 100 rounds of 5.56
armor-piercing for $15.95
AK-47 rifle: no charge. Ammo at 100 rounds of 7.62 com bloc ball ammo
For $14.95
Barrett M-107 .50 cal sniper rifle: rental $55.00/day. Ammo at 25
rounds of 50 BMG armor piercing at $19.95
Crew members can double as spotters for $30.00 per hour (spotting scope
included).
They even offer RPG's at $75 bucks and $200 for 3 standard loads
Mounted mini-gun available @ $450.00 per 30 seconds of sustained fire.
Free complimentary night vision equipment.
Meals are not included but seem reasonable. Coffee and snacks on the
top deck from 7pm-6am
They offer group rates and corporate discounts, and even offer a
partial money back guarantee if not satisfied.
Text from the ad:
"We guarantee that you will experience at least two hijacking attempts
by pirates or we will refund half your money including gun rental
charges and any unused ammo (mini gun charges not included). How can we
guarantee you will experience a hijacking? We operate at 5 knots within
12 miles of the coast of Somalia. If an attempted hijacking does not
occur we will turn the boat around and cruise by at 4 knots.
"We will repeat this for up to 8 days making three passes a day along
the entire length of Somalia. At night the boat is fully lit and bottle
rockets are shot off at intervals and loud disco music beamed shore
side to attract attention. Cabin space is limited so respond quickly.
Reserve your package before April 29 and get 100 rounds of free tracer
ammo in the caliber of your choice."
