Tim , you're a liar , you do not have 15,000 nautical miles under a keel !!
You have ONE TRIP to the Caribbean (barely) and back to Ontario. 5000 miles if your LUCKY !!! And Tim, I had THAT at 16 years old !!
In Fact do you have ANY TYPE of Captains License ?
PROVE IT , and PROVE your Captains Logs on your next video. You are a YOUTUBE educated sailor at best. My Dad , Ex Navy of the USS INTREPED , who started my sailing days , you bet yer ASS we akways had a gun on board. We had a .380 at the chart table with 4 clips extra ready to go. And My first solo years I had a simple 2 shots .45 calibre Derringer.
Nowadays, once in international waters or in/out of US ports I carry a Ruger Mini 14 Stainless Ranch Rifle
where legal , and south of the Fla Keys a small revolver which I challenge anyone to find on board. Plus the 12 Guage Flare Guns ( hi quality ) with in cindery rounds to torch any pirates or thieves. You bet yer ass Us old school Buffet Boys are well prepared.
You have NO CLUE about safety being a part time Canadian seasonal sailor who's owned 2-3 boats at best. I have owned over 40 vessels , and around 15 were capable of crossing the Atlantic. How many times did YOU cross the Pond Tim
ZERO.
But back to me ,,, Running
Sinbads Boat & Dock in 1977-1983 in Gordons pass cleaning hulls and my girls from high school cleaning topsides , we were highly recommended and did great work for the owners if Port Royal and a Keewaydin Isle all the way down to Isle of Capri , Marco and Everglades City.
Pkease show me your Crudentials Tim.
Show US your Captain Logs

I have had my SixPack since I was 19 years old in 1984 Tim !!!! I was running charters on 30-40 boats back then and also cleaning those boats with SCUBA GEAR on , scraping underwater on our 6/8 ft sandbars risking getting pinned in those shallow passes in Naples and Keeywaydin Isle inlets when you were probably canoeing the local creeks in Ontario.
It just really BUGS me how you act like something you are not.
Not even an American , just a landlocked Great Lakes tourist who went south ONCE and almost SANK and came to a divorce and a boat sitting on the hard for years.
Seriously Dude.
Poser.

Because I believe you all talk and NO REAL EXPERIENCE BUDDY.

So I'm from Missouri Son
Show ME.

and PS once outside of Canadian Waters carry GUN that you can easily break down and hide in an oil pan or black water tank or anywhere safe and while on dangerous passages keep it ready to shoot intruders and protect you life , Family and Property.

Cheers and Sail On !

I have been in a cruising situation where I did not have a gun, but wish that I did. That is a scary feeling, and I felt stupid for being unprepared to protect my vessel, crew, and myself. Fortunately, we had a bit of luck that diffused the situation, but it could have gone the other way just as easily. I will not be unprepared again.

This was in the Bahamas in an anchorage at Great Sale Cay. Well traveled cruising ground and normally safe – but not always we discovered.

You never have to use your weapon in a situation, but it only makes sense to have it as an option if you really need it.

Concluding that you only travel to "safe" places is a joke on yourself, a delusion that will sooner or later bite you.
So many things are more important than global warming it's not even funny.
If a country can't trust citizens to own a gun then they don't want you there anyway and my life is worth more than sailing will ever be.
Better to just not go!
Your point about many big liberal cities in America is well taken though. //ji

The people who should carry, are people who have trained extensively and have had a job/duty that required them to carry.
Cpt. Blake was on a boat of victims. People who had no clue of how to deal with the reality of human nature. He had his idea, but nothing to back it with and no one who had his back.
I think people should be honest with themselves when choosing where they travel. If, where they are going, they fit the description of a perfect victim who's going helplessly pass their life into the hands of criminals, who views killing some stranger for money, no different than swatting a fly, then you probably shouldn't go there if you value your life over the action of going there. If not, then don't be surprised when shit hits the fan.

If you are someone who doesn't know how to handle people, then you probably shouldn't be going to a part of the world that is known for being the real world, where you are directly responsible for the safety and survivability of your own life.

Greta topic. Former cop and long time sailor. In U S waters a firearm is really not necessary. Some places it might make sense to carry internationally but the Customs issues can be a really big problem so I wouldn’t risk it. Plenty of improvised weapons readily available on your boat. I do carry a safe and simple revolver on road trips and when staying at hotels. Investigated too many cases where the victim could have used a little help. With any weapon get good training, go to the range regularly and hope you never need to use it.

most of the stories I have heard about was typically a result of poor decision making. when owning and possessing a firearm it is the duty and responsibility of that owner to analyze the situation. this is usually done with training and some common sense. now I don't know the situation that accrued on that boat (I was not there) but I would like to think I would have noticed something before they came aboard. now I know to each his own and I would not draw a weapon for just an outboard, but hindsight is 20/20 what if that wasn't all they were after. there is no way to tell in the moment. especially being threatened. you all do you but if you decide to carry, please for the love of God get some training. sorry this one touched a nerve.
