While at the fuel dock, I saw a group of boats in the distance, backlit.
Turns out it was 5 Border Patrol boats, all heading for the same fuel dock we are at. One pulled in close in front of us... close, as in: their engines were nearly touching our anchor. I said to one of the officers as he got out of their boat, “Don’t hit that good looking boat behind you!”
He smiled and said, “I love those C-Dorys - that IS a good looking boat.”
I congratulated him on his impeccable taste and thanked them for the work they do. We pulled away from the dock as the other 4 Border Patrol boats swarmed nearby like gnats. We picked our way through them, and within a minute or so, they were all at the dock, two rafted up to the inside boats. Pretty obvious they have done this group maneuver before.
