In “Discovered – The Cross of Lorraine” several types of law enforcement boats
play a role in the search and rescue of Tawny.
While in the Straits area last week I photographed a few of them.
Take a look at the powerful engines mounted on the sterns of these vessels
and you can understand how they can reach such amazing speeds.

This craft is manned by Michigan Conservation Officers.
The above shots were taken at the St. Ignace Harbor. In the novel,”Chief” hitches a ride
from there on one of these boats. The law enforcement agencies in the Straits
work well together.
Last, but certainly not least, the U.S. Coast Guard boat temporarily docked at
Mackinac Island Harbor. I had to quickly capture this shot on a cell phone
before they sped off again.
Wouldn’t it be great to see these three boats in a race across the Straits?
