The following was taken off Comcast News:SANTA MONICA, Calif. — They were four adventure seekers who loved the sea and wanted to see the world. Friends said they were meticulous and planned for any dangers, but even that couldn't prepare them for the Somali pirates who stormed their yacht and took their lives.
The boat's owners, Jean and Scott Adam of Marina del Rey, along with Bob Riggle and Phyllis Macay of Seattle, were shot to death early Tuesday, after pirates took them hostage on Friday about several hundred miles south of Oman.
Macay's niece, Nina Crossland, told reporters Tuesday that her aunt was "a very smart and avid sailor."
I DON'T KNOW ABOUT YOU...BUT...this is a complete non-starter for me. To call people careful when they chose to travel alone (at the time) in a region controlled by Somali Pirates...is nonsense. It would be like saying Roy was careful when he played with Tigers. Puleeeze.
