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.

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.

Bearing exactly that in mind was probably the only reason I didn't have pee
running down my leg.
