The lake patrols itself

The water police used to loiter. All four of them would end up in the middle of the lake within sight of each other, because each was told to mill about near wherever it already was, which is a very good way to never go anywhere.

The plas is cut into quarters now and each boat patrols its own. They still chase you across the whole lake; they just come from somewhere sensible when they do.

They have also stopped driving into islands. Everything with a rudder now looks ahead and steers round a bank rather than through it, which took the ranger's career of getting stuck with her nose against a legakker.
