Dangerous Pirates or Curious Fisherman - Who’s Chasing Us? - S6 Ep 151
Sailing off the coast of Borneo on a windswept, moonless night, a strange boat crosses our bow then does a u-turn onto a course to intercept us. We turn away and they turn with us. We start our engine to speed up and they increase speed as well. In daylight hours, we’ve got used to curious fisherman angling in towards us to have a closer look at our boat, wave and shout friendly greetings across the water, but tonight in the darkness, this was different. This boat was on an actual collision course.
Were they dangerous brigands or just more curious fishermen? We had no way of knowing and could not take any risks so squeezed every ounce of speed out of our 42 year old yacht she could muster. It was touch and go for quite a while before we gained enough of a lead that our mystery pursuers gave up the chase and turned away.
