I have been to over 20 different countries, but all after 1990, so I am not sure if I can help. I was onboard a vessel that was attacked by pirates in the Straits of Malacca, that might be a good story for ya.

 

[El Pirata]

Pirates are cool. I have a pirate story from the caribbean that was interesting to say the least, nothing a searchlight and a couple hundred rounds from a ma-deuce couldn't handle though.

El P - I was actually onboard a US Navy Nuclear subamarine when we were attacked. Morons, lol.

 

[El Pirata]

I was on an Army landing craft near the Yucatan when they wisely sought easier prey.

We were on the surface traveling at about 10KTS around 2am through the straits of malacca, coming out of singapore, headed to bahrain. A small 40ft fishing vessel began shooting of flares in an SOS pattern. We turned towards, got within about 200 yards and realized something was amiss. I was n the bridge with the CO, XO and EOOW. When we got to about 100yards, he turned towards, applied full throttle and began shooting at us with a 50caliber deck mount. put about 10 rounds into our sail, about 10 feet below where i was standing. We chose not to return fire, turned away, and out ran him. I think he stopped chasing us right away when he got a bit closer and was able to see that we wernt a merchant vessel. We radio'd a local carrier who sent two Recon planes to look for him, but never found him. When we pulled into port and were able to look at the sail, you could see the marks where the rounds hit the sub. no damage to the steal, but its covered with an anti-sonar rubber coating, and all that was blown off.

Not as exciting, but the Panamanian Coast Guard took my lunch money.

I guess we were fishing just a bit to close to their waters. They came up on us guns ready and boarded us. After 20 minutes and a brown spot in the Caption's pants he asked us to kindly tip the government employees for their hard work.

It was pretty intense having large deck mounted guns and several automatic weapons following your every move.

In the Philippians tipping the local crime-fighters always found us the best available entertainment.

In many of the foreign countries I have been to people are very realistic when it comes to american dollars.

 

[El Pirata]

What Panamanian coast guard?

 

[FastEddy]

Exactly!

 

[El Pirata]

When was this because the coast guard is realtively new in Panama. I think they started it in 99 when the US pulled out.

 

[FastEddy]

This was 2001 just south of Pavonies (SP)
The ship was 100'-120' unmarked. The crew was in unmarked military clothing.

We were drifting south along the coast fishing for Rooster. The Caption saw him coming and had us all pick up and he hauled ass north. It took no time for the ship to catch up to us. The caption couldn't find any other boats in the aria so he just stopped dead and let them come. They dumped 2 weapons over board on the far side of the boat then promptly got somber.

It wasn't fun.

 

[El Pirata]

Actually it does sound like fun.

 

[kazi]

feel free to send me the interview by e-mail, is difficuld that we coincide in the msn due I live in Europe and we have 6 or 7 hours time difference.

 

[Russ Winn]

We shot a "go-fast" drug runner boat all to hell this past summer...prior to that, just a lot of ports and parties....

El would have went rambo and jumped out from behind a sail with two .45s and started dropping shells. Lol
