[Tomb] Honestly, sailing around some of those regions (Gulf of Aden,
Panama, Asia Pacific Rim, etc) in a small but valuable keelboat or
catamaran is basically throwing the dice. There's no way, even if there
are 4 - 6 of you aboard and you do have firearms that you can
reasonably stand off launches with support weapons and RPGs. So, I can't
really think of a "plan" that's going to change that reality. You can
mitigate risk of being noticed and targeted, you can take some steps to
offer limited defense portside or at anchor or underway, but ultimately,
you aren't in the kind of vessel and don't have the kind of armaments to
effectively resist. My answer is 'don't go there'.
That got me thinking what a "random encounter" table for that part of
the world would be like, both on and off the water. Scary.
