I'd say carry a weapon. It can't hurt unless you do something completely retarded. I have 2 stashed in my rv when traveling, they're both registered to me. When in a remote location where no one can hear you scream, and encountering someone at random, what stops you from robbing them? Human decency. However not everyone has that.

Piracy!!! Maybe i'll stay home?
Hello my fellow yachties, just like to share a few thoughts with you about piracy, it seems to invoke strong reactions from those who beleive that the Gulf of Aden, Malacca straights etc, are full of evil brigands waiting to plunder and send you to Davey Jones locker.
Of course being robbed and threathened or in extreme cases being killed is a very serious matter but you are more likely to be attacked walking at night in any big city ( In USA probably shot)
Don't be put off by all the negative stories you here 99% of yachts transit these so called danger areas quite safely.

PS My cruising area is the Malacca straights
