    ... his boss. Naturally, you are ready to take advantage of the situation and you grab a skillet and CLANG! There goes two. I know I haven’t much time so I jump back up to the wheelhouse and reach up to the console while shoving the port engine into reverse just as pirate three rounds the corner of the aft deck. The sudden spinning of the boat flips him neatly over the railing so its three down and one to go. I grab two’s gun and step onto the deck, and when pirate four realizes he is outnumbered he makes a quick but smart decision and jumps over the side to join his friend. We throw a pair of life jackets in after them, and in a moment the unconscious pirates one and two are tossed over the side to join their friends, wearing new life jackets just to show we are civilized, which is likely more than they would have done for us. Now we turn our attention to the old pirate boat, motoring alongside us, still blissfully unaware that their friends are doing a five mile dog paddle to shore. We know they had other hostages, because we had heard them talking about bringing them to our boat so that we could be offered as a package deal. We quickly decide to change their situation as well. With a good long kiss for luck (no interruptions this time!) we make a plan and then we make our move. The noise of their motor covers all other sounds so they are quite surprised when our searchlight lights them up behind, and even more surprised at how quickly we can clear their deck of pirates with ...
    ... our fire hose. I am very happy now that I brought many extra life jackets. A quick hit of the hose to their engine air intakes quickly renders them motionless. I keep the remainder of the pirates below decks with the fire hose as you tie us onto their boat, then we both hop onto their hapless vessel with our weapons loaded. We look carefully down the ladder to the pirates and their captives below deck. I see several of them there looking up at us, with two (rather attractive) female hostages, and their leader is pointing a gun at one woman’s head. I think for a moment and then unload about half of my clip through the leaky wooden floor, which begins to gush gallons of water into the old boat. He looks up at me in shock and I make it clear that if he shoots her he will die in the next second, and if he does nothing they will all drown. With a look of utter disgust he pushes the women up the ladder, and we take them and quickly leave, watching while they frantically patch the gaping holes in their hull. It’s not long before our engines are full ahead we are on our way to Singapore at a high rate of speed. We catch our breath for a few minutes, and then set the autopilot to keep us on course while we work to clean the terrible mess in the head (bathroom). After that rather odious task we clean ourselves, and then take some time to cook a nice meal. The four of us enjoy the meal while toasting our success. Introductions are now complete and we welcome Paula and Christine to our ...
