This isn't a bunch of yahoos on a party boat in Corpus Christi Bay. Where is a yacht owner in the Mediterranean going to get a shotgun, and would such a tiny weapon even be effective against a half dozen 8000 lb whales, anyway? I have a hard time believing it'd be worth the risk of getting caught by authorities with an illegal firearm onboard.

> I have a hard time believing it'd be worth the risk Well, isn't that nice, we get to do a Gedankeexperiment. You get choose between the two following scenarios: - bringing a shotgun onboard, using it to defend your life by at least inflicting pain to the attacking beast and trying to chase them away. Oh, and yeah, maybe paying a 300 euro fine for trying to make sure you come back home alive. - not bringing a shotgun aboard, getting pummeled, sunk and either eaten or drowned. But sure, you'll not be fined 300 euros. I know what I'd do. Oh, and > where is a yacht owner in the Mediterranean going to get a shotgun LOL. Any large coastal city suburb in either Spain, France or Italy ?
