That's why I asked. Pirating on the 'high seas' , out of sight is one
thing, but on a lake, near shore. Unless these were really, really
dumb pirates. Maybe they were Canadian afterall.

Was there no other boats in sight?

There were several other boats in sight, but none closer than 5 or 6
miles.
We were about 3/4 mile offshore, so lots of houses in view. It
struck me as
odd that this boat would approach us in light of the fact that
anyone
watching with binoculars from a house could have seen everything,
including
the name of the go-fast boat, emblazoned down the gunnels.
