Two words that will help anyone...home or abroad...."WASP SPRAY!!" Believe it or not....Wasp Spray will do a number on a person from a long distance and doesn't run-out like pepper spray. I too am from Texas (live in FLA now) and you have to improvise when a gun isn't available.
There are many things that might work. Those things can come with risk. Not every jurisdiction allows another person to intentionally do harm to someone else with complete immunity. Hosing someone with a "poison" from a distance could easily land an american in many foreign jails far from home until the matter is resolved.
My point, once you leave the borders of your home state. I would be very careful with the possession of anything that could be labeled a weapon or using any tool to do harm to someone else. That is not a political or moral statement. That is free amateur legal advice.
The maritime standard is to order a stranger aboard to leave. If that fails you give them what they want.
