Just FYI, it's fairly common even in US Waters for fishermen to turn off and on their AIS. This is because they don't want other competitors to know where their key fishing spots are. And if they were illegals and perceived you were government officials they would have turned off all their AIS'es completely.

Perhaps many of us would like to learn more about your sailing vessel and the makes and models of special equipment you have on board.

Thanks and best wishes!

Another thing you can do is to use the fog horn. As a sailing vessel you have a different and more pronounced set of sound combinations that in my opinion would scare illegals away. Blasting that horn over and over lets everyone know who you are. Most VHF radios have a fog horn combination that can be utilized to repeat the signals over and over. You will need to add on a hailer speaker but its worth it, and you can also use the radio as a hailer.

If their fishing net gets your keel , you go under.

mmmm maybe do some swatting of maritime regulations. You may find out that you were the hazard and not the fishing boats. Sailboats generally don't have the right of way at sea against commercial vessels over a certain tonnage. Around New Zealand a skipper has to be very alert as fishing boats sometimes lay a hull at night with all crew asleep and all lights off.
Keep well clear of any other vessel at sea especially working vessels as they may not be in a position to avoid you.

If those boats are engaged in fishing with nets out! you must bear away!! pass behind them and allow for long nets.

Fishing boat encounters….. not sure if they still do it but back in the 90's, we did a delivery from Puckett, Thailand to California and had some weird encounters with fishing boats playing "chicken" with us. They would come right at you, lights or no lights at night of course, and at the last second, veer away. You never knew which way they would bear off so you just had to stand on! The object of this maneuver was to cast their "bad fishing luck" off on you! We started bringing an extra pair of shorts to the wheelhouse for night watches!

Hey sailing friends! Thanks for watching. We know some of you watch to learn, and at 9:38, Curtis made a mistake when talking about the mainsail shackles. He was repairing the Tack at the gooseneck (front of the sail), not the Clew which is at the end of the boom (back of the sail).

Why this happened? We don't have a clue why ;-), but likely because of too much fried balogna, excessive instant coffee consumption, and lack of sleep.

We usually edit incorrect things out, but sometimes because of the time we have to edit these videos we do miss some things. We are glad that you guys/gals are so knowledgable and watch so closely, impressive!!!

It's almost as if they were deliberately menacing……well done for evading them.
