Somali pirates tonight demanded $7 million dollars in ransom for the kidnapped British couple Paul and Rachel Chandler.
This is the first time a figure has been mentioned since Mr and Mrs Chandler were captured on board their yacht off the Seychelles a week ago....

The navy, whichever one that is, found Lynn Rival abandoned at sea.
The family reported,something I already suspected, that the couple had everything they owned tied up in the boat. I doubt it is worth more than a couple hundred grand IF that much. There is no chance thier family can raise that kind of cash.
I do have to say I don't, in this case, have a lot of sympathy. Tanzania.. why didn't they just wave a flag saying kidnap me. One would think that after 3 yrs of cruising they would have gotten a clue.
