All Your Ammo Is Included!

Roadkill 54 Comments

Sign up now for the Second Annual SDA Luxury Cruise.

The yachts travel from Djibouti in Somalia to Mombasa in Kenya.
The ships deliberately cruise close to the coast at a speed of just five nautical miles in an attempt to attract the interest of pirates.

And they said that last year’s whale hunt cruise couldn’t be topped!

  1. Who needs the government to clean up the pirate mess when private enterprise will due it for free. Its a sad day when Russia is more entrepreneurial than the West.

  2. Where do I sign up?
    My first thought was that a SDA Cruise would include a Prairie Schooner, jumping off and clubbing gophers along the way or something like that.
    Cue the indignant leftoid trolls who don’t know humour in three, two, one…

  4. The venerable Q-ship of the 1st World War has returned. Our grandfathers would be proud.

  6. That’s fun, I am signing up!
    The wuss who said that it’s worse than pirates should GFHS.

  8. “”They are worse than the pirates,” said Russian yachtsman Vladimir Mironov. “At least the pirates have the decency to take hostages, these people are just paying to commit murder,” he continued.

    Wait, they cruise off shore and people come to take them hostage and shoot back? Ok, so maybe it’s entrapment and the ship owners have found a way to make a buck. Worse thatn piracy?> It’s not like they are hunbting down fishermen or something… Jeez

  13. It doesn’t seem that the pirates fear the navies of the superpowers, whereas they will certainly fear rich folks who get off on blowing away pirates.
    Let the free market correct the piracy problem. Governments, regardless of having the means, don’t have the balls.
    Wonder if they plan to have the pirates stuffed and mounted as trophies to show off to hunting buddies?
    What next? Taliban-hunting safari expeditions? Sounds like a rush, a helluva thrill, and civilians don’t have to take prisoners and worry about Obama letting ’em go!

  17. Given a choice, I’d take a 50 cal and lots of ammo. Nothing more fun than chewing up walls and vehicles – and hopefully pirates with Ma Deuce.
    Way more fun than an RPG. Very reassuring to have one putting five round bursts . . “thump-thump-thump-thump-thump” downrange.
    Ahhh the old days

  18. Heck, you don’t have to go that far to have fun. I’m trying to recruit some bored Toronto “youths” to carry garbage bags to designated drop off sites, and then see what happens when the strikers try to stop them.
    I figure if I give each youth a bag of garbage and a pointed stick, it should be lots of fun!

  19. hey, we can commandeer the West Edmonton Mall Submarine Navy and put torpedoes on board. Makes watching fish take on a whole new meaning 😉

  21. “an extra £5 a day for an AK-47” who could pass that up eh?
    I might consider signing up, but I just planted a dozen saskatoon saplings here in Ontario and my wife won’t agree to tend them while I am gone.
    Darn!

    Yeah, it does take the danger out of being close….. but there might be a supply problem for the Ruskies…..
    However, I’m sure you would really get off on a DSK…..MAMA….
    As far as a Taliban safari….a Dragonev would be my choice….

  24. I was thinking, “what a great idea” … for someone to at least attempt to give the Somali pirates what for. So, some of the Somali pirates get killed … isn’t that the price of skulduggery on the high seas? Isn’t that one of the possibilities they signed on for?
    ‘Too bad it’s not for real. 🙁

  26. Should be fun!
    Djibouti in Somalia should be Djibouti near Somalia.
    I passed through Djibouti on the way to work in Somalia. Our drilling rig eventually got chased out at the start of their Civil War (we also lost one rig to the buggers).

    Spoken like a true liberal. I’m suprised he didn’t bring up the fact that the pirates are forced into piracy by evil capalists.
    Horny Toad

  31. The story sounds a little fishy to me. But if true, it would open up the possibility of becoming a “super-pirate”. Once you and your friends pay the passage and are given access to this cache of weapons, it would be possible to have yourself “promoted” to captain of the newly re-christened HMCS Doublecross. Now you’ve got a ship full of rich hostages, tons of weapons, and the possibility of safe harbour in Somalia. The Somalians would treat you like a god. You’d be the king of all pirates. I figure with some cunning, you’d at least be able to recoup the cost of your vacation, and probably make a handsome profit. Arrrrrrr!

  33. I’d go if they also had a medical conference on board so I could write the trip off. I knew it was fake when I saw the cost of the ammo. Ball ammo in 7.62×39 is way cheaper than £7 for 100 rounds (or it used to be pre-obama).
    This is a great idea and, unfortunately, it is likely the Russians that would pull something like this off as Russia now seems to be the last bastion of capitalism in the world.

  34. So now I feel real stupid for thinking this was real. Next someone is going to tell me the Conservative Party believes in deficits, stimulus spending, and bailing out failed corporations.

  35. Someone should delete Piotr’s post, whether his intent was to be facetious – or not.

  40. Can’t decide between this and the Free Dominion “dream holiday” as an intern in the CHRC.

  41. Actually I have long considered free enterprise the solution to this piracy problem.
    Bounties and “letters of marque” really would attract such corporations as BLACKWATER.

  42. Minor gripe: Five nautical miles is a distance; five knots is the speed, but what do “reporters” know? How about adding to the spice by dropping a few mines in Somali harbour approaches?

  43. I’d prefer a panzerfaust – i know it’s the precursor to the RPG but i’m sort of old school that way.

  45. Shore leave allowed? – it’d be nice to sample some quat perhaps after a hard day of taking on the barbary pirates. Chew on some leaves and wash it it down with a molsons. Then on to mogodishu for the keys to the city.

  47. A chain gun with all tracer!! Wouldn’t that make for Puff the Magic Dragon in spades. 6000 rounds per minute, and all tracer. Why, it’s a thing of cosmic beauty just to think about….

  48. “Ball ammo in 7.62×39 is way cheaper than £7 for 100 rounds ”
    Yeah Loki, but then that beer you had on your last trip through Toronto airport didn’t cost $7.95 either. No competition on a cruise ship remember. They make their money on the extras and shore excersions. 🙂

  50. Now that’s what I call creative business thinking!
    If someone would only include Al Qaeda, Islamist extremists and socialists as the new big game the world would be a better place.
