Did you know modern-day piracy is on the rise and Somali pirates are rife in the lawless stretch of the Horn of Africa.
In 2009 pirates attacked 163 ships off Somali, there were 127 attacks in 2010 and in 2011 pirate gained $146 million, averaging $4.87 million per hijacked ship.
My sister said being on pirate watch during her time working on a superyacht was quite a frightening experience, especially when there was no one else awake at night!
I’m glad the only pirate I’ve come across is this pint-sized swashbuckler who got dressed up for International Talk Like A Pirate Day earlier this month.
He really got in to the whole thing at kindy and said “me hearty” to everyone he spoke to!
Did you know pirates were still a major problem in the world?
Did your kids get dressed up?
