Anyone coming with me???
I was surfing the net, looking for ideas for the family summer trip,
and I ran across one I thought might interest you.
It's a Somalia cruise package that departs from Sawakin in the Sudan
and docks at Bagamoya, Tanzania.
The cost is a bit high but it seems well worth it. What I thought was
cool is that the cruise line is encouraging people to bring their own
high powered weapons along. If you don't have weapons you can rent
them right there on the boat. They claim to have a master gunsmith on
board and reloading parties every afternoon. The cruise lasts from 4-8
days. All the boat does is sail up and down the coast of Somalia
waiting to get hijacked by pirates. Here are some of the costs and
claims associated with the package:
$800.00 US/per day per person, double occupancy (4 day minimum)
M-16 full automatic: rental $25.00/day with ammo at 100 rounds of 5.56
armor-piercing for $15.95
AK-47 rifle: no charge. Ammo at 100 rounds of 7.62 com bloc ball ammo
for $14.95.
Barrett M-107 .50 cal sniper rifle: rental $55.00/day. Ammo at 25
rounds of 50 BMG armor piercing at $19.95
Crew members can double as spotters for $30.00 per hour (spotting
scope included).
They even offer RPG's at $75 bucks and $200 for 3 standard loads.
Mounted mini-gun available @ $450.00 per 30 seconds of sustained fire.
Free complimentary night vision equipment.
Meals aren't included but seem reasonable. Coffee and snacks on the
top deck from 7pm-6am.
They offer group rates and corporate discounts, and even offer a
partial money back guarantee if not satisfied.
Text from the ad:
"We guarantee that you will experience at least two hijacking attempts
by pirates or we will refund half your money including gun rental
charges and any unused ammo (mini gun charges not included). How can
we guarantee you will experience a hijacking? We operate at 5 knots
within 12 miles of the coast of Somalia. If an attempted hijacking
does not occur we will turn the boat around and cruise by at 4 knots.
"We will repeat this for up to 8 days making three passes a day along
the entire length of Somalia. At night the boat is fully lit and
bottle rockets are shot off at intervals and loud disco music beamed
shore side to attract attention. Cabin space is limited so respond
quickly. Reserve your package before April 30th and get 100 rounds of
free tracer ammo in the caliber of your choice."
Here are a few testimonials:
"FUN FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY!!"
---- Carl, Nevada,USA
"I got three confirmed kills on my last trip. I'LL never hunt big game
in Africa again."
---- BFE, Utah, USA
"Six attacks in 4 days was more than I expected. I bagged three
pirates and my 12 yr old son sank two rowboats with the minigun.
PIRATES 0, PASSENGERS 32! Well worth the trip. Just make sure your
spotter speaks English."
----- Wiz, California, USA
"I haven't had this much fun since flying choppers in NAM. Don't worry
about getting shot by pirates as they never even got close to the ship
with those weapons they use, and their crappy aim reminds me of a
drunken 'juicer' door gunner we picked up from the motor pool back in
Nam."
----"Stickman" Arizona, USA
"Like ducks in a barrel. They turned the ship around and we saw them
bleed and cry in the water like little girls. Saw one wounded pirate
eaten by sharks--COOL!! This is a must do."
---Bobcat, Utah, USA
You should check it out, maybe we could all go as a group.
