Well, unless they were completely retarded they'd have a rough idea of the cardinal directions, and would presumably know which way land was, so unless they're engine was confiscated too, or they lacked the fuel to get back, they either made it to shore or ran into mechanical problems (possibly sabotage) that led to the boat sinking. You might need navigational equipment to hit a specific point on the shore, but it's not like somalia is a small island...

Thank you for pointing this out. The "pro-pirates" in this thread seem to think the original boat the pirates came in on, was paddled up to a Russian cargo vessel traveling around 20+ knots.

"A source in the Russian Defense Ministry earlier told RIA Novosti that the pirates had been disarmed and "sent adrift" in a rubber boat without navigation equipment."
Actually it doesn't say. I was picturing them being abandoned in a rubber boat (the kind you use when a boat sink) in hight sea, with two paddle and no navigation equipment. But they were maybe returned they boat, with plenty of oil and the general direction of the land. I still think it's the first, but how to be sure?
Mah, anyway it's not like the Russian will come to take my advice next time so it's no big deal.
