Piracy? In the IRTC?

The above title refers to the reaction HNLMS Tromp got from a yacht sailing in the Internationally Recommended Transit Corridor. From the twitter account of the CO of the Tromp:
Encountered a small sailing yacht in the IRTC, when queried it stated “what do you mean piracy?” welcome to the real world.
I would have loved being able to see the look on the face of the crew member that made the inquiry when he got that answer.

Another nice one was the dhow that was behaving suspiciously. Turned out it was because everyone aboard was asleep.
