Hangin' with the The Guardians






I shot lots of photos of my Coast Guard rescue adventure yesterday. The Coast Guard Auxilary and the Coast Guard helicopter/rescue swimmers participated in a training exercise. My wife Joyce and I were invited to board the "Miss Linda", a 76-ft former fishing vessel, now used as a target vessel for raising and lowering rescue baskets and Coast Guard rescue swimmers. The engine noise and rotor wash was overpwering as the helicopter (a big sucker) hovered just a few feet overhead. It really got your blood pumping!


What about ventriloquism? It was so cold, no one's lips moved when they talked.

P.S. Oh yeah, that's my wife Joyce steering the boat (photo op only).
