OK, not as fast as I thought. I figured at least 75. I'm gonna defend these guys. I see them a lot and they have never bothered me. On this day we were taking a beer break at the Detroit River Light on our way to PIB. We went over to them to talk to them. They asked if I wanted to trade boats. I said sure, as long as they include the weapons.They asked how fast I was. I said mid 80s. They said I could outrun them then. I'm like, yeah, right, until the choppers show up. Saw them again at PIB that day and went over to say Hi. They are good people. At least they have been to me.

65mph tops!

Almost all of those guys that I've met have been super nice, they don't have much to complain about. A bad day on the water is still better than a good day on land!
|
I think the CG guys are typically pretty cool. It's usually the local weekend cops who are out to prove how bad they are!

That boat belongs to ICE (immigration and customs enforcement). It is a division of DHS. Border patrol boats are white with the green stripe. CBP is on border patrol. It is a 65 mph boat on its best day. I think they have a quad one in ohio, the quad one by the light is the one that sits at elizabeth park. There is also a triple ICE boat there, triple CBP boat with hondas, then a pile of wayne county sheriff boats. Some days those are the coolest guys on the lake and just want to talk boats and look at stuff, other days they will come right up on you, board you and harass you. It all depends on who gets you that day. Keep in mind there are 5 different law enforcement agencies that patrol the south end of the detroit river.

They don't like having their picture taken either. Good way to get boarded. :angry-smiley-038:

I was stopped by the CG on the St. Lawrence last spring, they were nothing but nice. It probably did look a tad suspicious in hind sight...44* weather, half rain, some clown in a loud boat running 70 or so :D
