Arrr! Where be the pirates?

There is nothing worse than planning a trip at sea, only to have it be ruined by pirates. It seems like they are just everywhere these days.

But now the International Maritime Bureau is looking to help by offering a real-time map of pirate activity based on Google Maps.

You can click on each flag to get a detailed report of the incident. Just taking a glance at the map, I would try to avoid doing much sailing around Africa.
