Default A neat thing to see

Out in the ocean on thursday with dad and another salmon fishing newbie we got to see what I thought was pretty cool. This was the coast guard out in there little zodiac fishing right along the side of the rest of us. Those guys risk their lives all the time to save people who get into bad situations and who just need the help so it was nice to see they actually got to enjoy some downtime. The ocean was calm and there were a few boats out and then the coast guard, not harrassing anyone, but fishing right there with us. We even saw them put one in the boat. They were really cool as they said hi and even asked how it was going. Anyway I just thought it was neat that they actually got to get in on the action. I know tough job.

Hey fishin, I can appreciate your compliments for the CG guys but remember they are people just like you with a uniform on. They probably go to McDonalds and Taco bell and on Friday nights slam beers and whoop it up. Don't think guys in uniforms are not people too !!
