I woke up at night without any particular reason. There was a ship right in front of me, but it hadn’t been there when I’d looked at AIS. Well, I like to think it was a friendly Brazilian fisherman, but after the recent news of pirate attacks in this area, I don’t even talk on the radio if I don’t have to. Now, I’m just passing them, they’re about 4 miles away. It’s 0330 local time. I’m glad to be awake.
