Time for a "check round from Able, Baker and Charlie" on the Pirate village. lindybill@inmydreams.com The Danica White Has Been Released GATES OF VIENNA By Baron Bodissey The pirates got a cool 300 large for each crewmember, but apparently they didn't get to keep the ship as a souvenir, according to Reuters: The Danica White A Danish cargo ship and its crew that were hijacked by Somali pirates in June have been released after 83 days in captivity after a ransom was paid, the Danish Foreign Ministry said on Wednesday. The MV Danica White was carrying building materials from Dubai to Kenya when it was seized off Somalia in the world's most dangerous waterway. "We have talked to the crew and they are feeling OK at this point," the Foreign Ministry's head of citizen services Lars Thuesen told a news conference. "It's been a terrible experience for the hostages, being held for more than 80 days not knowing what was going on." Danish TV2 News reported security firm Protocols said it had paid ransom of $1.5 million (753,000 pounds) for the release of the ship and crew. […] After being freed, the Danica White headed for Djibouti about three days away, escorted by the French corvette Blaison. The crew will fly from there to be reunited with their families. - - - - - - - - - Now comes the obligatory nostalgic nod to the departed Somali Taliban, who made the trains run on time… Oh, wait! No trains in Somalia!
