    Did you know that the ship was anchored in port at the time? I find it strange that they were able to board the ship and take 2 of the crew, then escape on a small speedboat without any port security intervening...

  2. What port security would that be??

    Picking on the Dutch may not have been the optimum move, the ol' Dutch Cleanser just might ruin their day.
