Jobs: ‘Unarmed’ Shipboard Security Advisors, OCONUS
Apply at your own risk. If you do get this gig as a ‘shipboard security advisor’, your first bit of advice to the captain of the ship should be to arm the vessel and yourself. Other than that, if your ship gets attacked and taken because your LRAD less than lethal sound gun or really bad language did not repel the assault, then I will have a lovely story to post on FJ. Good luck, and be smart. –Matt

Technology: Sailwx and Tracking Blackwater’s McArthur Ship
Check this out. You can track Blackwater’s ship called the McArthur on this ship tracker website. Looks like the ship is still in port in the US. –Head Jundi

Don’t put too much faith in that map. McArthur has not been participating in the voluntary weather reporting network, so they pop up only rarely, when picked up by AIS. Their position has not been updated in months.
