This analysis of reported attempted attacks on Yachts sailing the world has been carried out by Cruiserlog Moderators in order to evaluate the events/incidents from a cruisers point of view. It is not meant to be a criticism of the ICC International Maritime Bureau's Piracy Report Center's Q3 report for 2007. They receive reports from ships, boats and yachts and précis these for publication in their weekly piracy report which is then widely circulated. It is probable that the IMB is not able to check the veracity of the initial incident, therefore having to accept it at face value even though it may sound incomplete, inaccurate or even exaggerated.

Bahamas, Virgin Islands And Carribean - Sailing Crew Wanted.

Wed, 5 Dec 2007 22:47:44 +0200
Very well equipped 51 foot sailboat leaving Florida January 15th for extended cruising in the Caribbean. Plan to spend a month in the Bahamas, a month in the Virgin Islands and two months in the Windward and Leeward Islands. I am looking for one or two people to join me and assist in running the boat. Blue water experience preferred but not required. Would require a minimum of one month commitment but would prefer persons who are available for the full four months. I will pay all boat expenses and provision the boat. You must arrange and pay for your transportation to and from the boat and your expenses on land.
