Time for a brief round-up:
- Year-end figures are in for action off the coast of Somalia, collected and relayed by Jay Bahadur:
| Number of Attacks | Hijackings | Success Rate | |
| 2008 | 134 | 50 | 37% |
| 2009 | 228 | 68 | 30% |
| 2010 | 243 | 74 | 30% |
- To add to that, there’s an assessment from the Combined Maritime Forces operating in the theater that attacks off the Horn of Africa are up, which is a bad omen for 2011
- On a lighter note, word was mentioned in passing about Elijah Wood and Eddie Izzard being in a new production of Treasure Island for Sky TV; it’s a little early to know whether it’s going elsewhere around the globe or out on disc, but those two in the story makes me interested in seeing this
