While there are some interesting and valid questions being presented here I would like to include some information that may disturb some folks. If you are boating along the East Coast, the waters are filled with devices that listen to and identify your vessel (if you venture out more than about 10 miles or so). These tracking devices can pinpoint not only your location but the route you took. This is in addition to radar identification by Coast Guard patrols, etc.
This also applies to general aviation. As long as you are not taking any type of evasive action or erratic flying, you will constantly be in contact with one Center or another. You will also have filed a flight plan. Deviation of your flight plan without notifying ATC, particularly if an international border might be involved, could result in a serious violation.
