Greetings again, we have been talking of late about the trips we would like to take, both in the mid and long term - short term will be just coastal trips to get used to the boat - and unfortunately my wife has seen a few TV programs where pirates and other nasties have attacked 'pleasure' craft.
Given the impracticality of arming oneself to repel boarders rofl does anyone with experience of longer distance cruising have experiences that can allay her fears ?
I am thinking that if one were to avoid places like Somalia, close inshore to certain parts of Mexico and so on, one should be reasonably safe ?
Or am I mistaken ?
