Coming back late this afternoon on our friends 30 footer (8 adults on
board) from the north end of Kelley's Island heading towards Huron, OH,
out of no where comes a 20 something foot boat marked "Border
Patrol/Homeland Security" with 4 armed officers and sirens blaring. We
stop and they ask us if we came from Canada or were fishing today (no to
both) then zoomed away. They were literally out of sight from us in a
heartbeat (their boat had four 220+ outboards and was obviously fast,
even in 4+ foot [and capping] Lake Erie seas).

We had to wonder if these guys are on some sort of mandate to stop 'x'
number of boats.....no one understood why they stopped us and then let us
go after asking 2 simple questions without a challenge or coming aboard.



The fact that we had a camel on board was a reason for them stopping us.
