Pirates countinue to experience allergic reaction to Maersk Alabama warning shots.

Suspected Somali pirates tried to seize the Maersk Alabama again on Tuesday in the third attempt to hijack it in three years.
Four skinny pirate looking people suspected of yes, being pirates, approached the ship in a small craft hereafter referred to as a suspected pirate skiff, in which a hook ladder, more commonly referred to as a pirate's boarding ladder, could be seen.When the skiff came within half a nautical mile, the ship's smiling captain authorized the firing of warning shots. The suspected pirates aboard the suspected pirate skiff skedaddled forthwith.

A steak BBQ was enjoyed by all on the fantail later than evening where plenteous portions of steak and lobster were enjoyed, numerous pints were lifted in honour of the Captain, and many sea stories were exchanged.

#1 Previous reports had a round of aimed shots following the (disregarded) warning rounds- in other words, some pirates may be enjoying better ventilation than previously.

#3 Mr Bee HI!; I tip my hat to you.
"A steak BBQ was enjoyed by all on the fantail later than evening where plenteous portions of steak and lobster were enjoyed, numerous pints were lifted in honour of the Captain, and many sea stories were exchanged". You have a way with words. Would you happen to have some Irish in you?.
