Today is Coast Guard Day. They do an amazing job on Lake Erie. I'll bet that they do an amazing job where you boat too.
Hug a Coastie... and thank them for making our home waters safer and foreign ports safer for our troops.

08-04-2011 11:55 AMThey were extremely helpful with the Smoke run.
One of my uncles was a Coastie. He had one entire tour on a lightship out in the Bering Sea. He talked about storms where the waves were so big the light at the top of the mast would stick in the wave that went past when they were going up the next one, and the wave coming when they were going down the backside of the wave. He said that was with the ship wide open trying to stay in position, something like a 3 mile radius, but they would still get blown out of the circle.
It is fun to watch them train at the mouth of the Columbia River...Getting bad advice is unfortunate, taking bad advice is a Serious matter!!
