And you have done nothing to give an indication your around the area I have had DD's and Sub chasers go right by me with no clue I was there. But if you are spoted or have a scope up as they are aproaching or sent out a radio message reciently then they stay alert an nervous.

The conditions have to be right and when I did that there was 10 mps wind and waves.
