If I'm not mistaken he'll be going on the INS Shakti, so I wouldn't be too worried. Those things carry AK-630ies.

Regardless, it's haze-grey and the Somalis has had bad experience with that colour. (See the attack on that German supply ship)

I only wished for GLACIESFIRE a good journey.
BTW the German ship is navy manned. The INS Shakti is civillian, after all if I'm not mistaken (delivery voyage from the yard)

There's no such thing as "nothing left to draw" If you can down 10 pints and draw, you're doing alright by my standards

Oh I am with you there, never my intention to say otherwise. Sorry if it came across like that.
