Capt. Phillips Considering Career Change

Underhill, Vermont - October 21, 2009

Captain Richard Phillips' days of sailing the high seas may be over.

Phillips is the Underhill captain who was held hostage by pirates for five days in April after his ship was hijacked off the Somali coast. His ordeal ended safely, thanks to some sharp-shooting Navy SEALS.

Phillips has been a merchant marine for 30 years and now says it may be time to do something else, but he hasn't officially made up his mind yet.
