I mean if you were a drug smuggler you wouldn't have told them, would you?

I knew not many people pick a day in mid December to go sailing. I didn't know I'd be the only one out, the day they were doing a massive drugs bust. They clearly thought no real pleasure sailor would be there. Fortunately I am obviously a harmless WAFI* and the appearance of my kid's cheery grin in the companionway was enough to convince them. (Bringing them up hardy, you see)
They probably also realised that with their hundreds of horsepower it's not like my beloved 4KSB* is a credible getaway vehicle.
