This isn't exactly a tourist hotspot, so of course, there aren't any private yachts cruising around for sightseeing.
And speedboats, well, they're precisely the standard gear of pirates!
These boats are small in size, high in speed, cheap and easy to control.
So, if you see speedboats racing towards you in the world's most notorious straits, you can be sure that the pirates are coming!
"Hurry! Get the high-pressure water gun out, don't let them near our tanker! I'm going to call for help!"
Roared the bearded Captain.
Of course, he would call for help from the Russian Navy, but whether anyone comes depends on their luck.
If a Russian warship was nearby, they might make it in time.
If they were too far away, well, then they could only pray...
On the deck, a few sailors pulled out the high-pressure water guns and headed for the side of the boat. Some speedboats were already closing in like arrows off the string, the distance too close for comfort.
