As for our incident; it happened on the Miskito bank real close to the drop off; they seem to fish that area, we were only about 45 nm from Providencia.

We had a lot of fishing boats that night; but we made sure to stay out of their way.

But this I guy was playing chicken with us, and kept coming, with the purpose of running us down. It happened at about: 14* 16N- 82* 02W. When we had avoided the collision he moved a-stern of us and slowly kept heading away, but stayed with us a long time. Once we got off the bank and were in deep water he headed off further and faster in the direction of the coast. He was definitely not fishing, his starboard light was out and he was about 80 feet in length; from what we could ascertain a real rust bucket. Maybe he was running drugs. I just wish these guys would leave us cruisers alone, don’t they know we do not care what they do, we just want to be able to go our way, and use the ocean like they do.
