As someone fled Ventspils from the border guards with a self-built boat

In the time of the USSR, border guard patrol vessels were based in the port of Ventspils, the task of which was to patrol the waters of the Baltic Sea and prevent the crossing of the border from either side - from the outside inwards or from the inside out. However, in the 1970s, one emergency occurred in Ventspils, about which the people of Ventspils themselves whispered in the kitchens for a long time and laughed for nothing.

There lived one guy who liked fast cutters and he made all kinds of boat engines and tested them. But because it was such a rather suspicious stell in the seaside town on the high seas, the guy regularly made friends with the border guards and often met with them and drank a snack regularly together. It is not hidden from the army in particular that they like motors and water sports. So once the boy managed to get an old Volga car engine somewhere, wed it in and install it on his motorboat. Since the Volga engine is not one of the small ones, the motorboat was probably polite. So one evening while drinking snack again with the border guards, the guy grew up that he now had a fast motorboat. Since the time of the vodka was more and more in the heads of the guests, they offered bets - which is faster, a border guard patrol boat or a motorboat? The loser must buy a box of vodka! The guy was at peace. Having gone to sea, the competition has started. It turned out that in the calm sea, however, the patrol boat quickly lagged behind the fast motorboat and threw a small circle returned to the port .... officers threw money and sent after a box of vodka, which after a while also brought. Then they realized that it was not a winner either. They also drank that snab and ... forgot about the rest, but the guy was already so far away that he wouldn't catch him anymore .... Apparently he was preparing for this operation seriously and friendship with snob-loving border guards was a well-planned trick. The case is silenced, the court has lost a whole strip of officers responsible for the state border.
