I am a Scoutmaster and a couple of weeks ago I took my Scout Troop out on a bottom fishing trip with Siggi-G out of Garabaldi and had a great time several boys and their dads had never done anything like that before.
For the second day I setup a tour of the coastguard station not only did we get to tour the station but we also got a ride on the big rescue boat.
(not sure what they call it a cutter?)
I cant explain how amazing that craft is with all it can do. But even more than that I can't even put into words the attitude of the Men (boys)that work everyday and risk their lives to keep that area safe for everyone.
I sure asked alot of questions about rough bar crossings and type and size of safe boats etc. It was a real education and eye opener for me.
I dont really know what to say about the whole experience but wanted to say something.
the boys are writing letters of thanks for the trip but I thought others might like hearing about this trip and what cool people there are out there willing to do the right things.
