I live in Toledo, OH, and I work downtown, so I see these gunboats often. They are more farsical than anything else. Commenter Chris Gerrib (#18) is correct -- they are small. Lake Erie, small in any other context, is big and the coastline of Ohio & Michigan is long. You could easily sail from Canada to without seeing one. In the boating season there are too many boats on the lake to vet with radar.

There are two nuclear reactors near the coast within 20 miles of Toledo, and last Summer I was on boats the sailed fairly close to them and there was no sign that anyone noticed.

"Toys for Boys" seems to be an accurate observation.

One week ago, Toledo, Ohio had very heavy rain -- someone from the University said it was a once in 150 years storm. Kinda freaked me out.
