that boat was up here for a few years on lake ontario they had little sassquatch decals on the windows their moto was" you might see us but you don,t know who we are" ....their mission was looking for drug running subs and would run all night using a 1000 in fuel each night they would show up and act like navy seals and had a huge attitude issue they pretty much did not get along with anyone it was a branch of customs. the boat is not fast and broke often but the 20,000 grand seats were cool

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.

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.

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
