It’s getting closer to the new boating season – the opening day is typically the first weekend in May. Maybe in anticipation of the new season, the police boats on Lake Union have been more active recently.
They have several boats in the fleet and on busy weekends like the opening weekend or July 4th all are on active duty.
What I haven’t seen before is one of their largest boats maneuvering so close to ‘Alice’ and the rowing club dock. This weekend, the boat made a pass down one side of the dock before backing up and coming down between ‘Alice’ and the rowing dock – there’s not a lot of room left as you can seen below!
There was no incident, no arrests (thank goodness) and no explanation, just a friendly wave as they backed off, turned around and went on their way.
Weird! Wonder what they were up to.
