I saw a Facebook reel where someone claimed there were pirates approaching their vessel. The video they took didnt show anything and they didnt really explain what happened other than pirates approached us. They were off the coast of Venezuela. Is that a big concern? I figured certain areas in the world like Indonesia or Somalia are known for it but is it a threat to small sailing vessels? Anyone have any stories?
