Great day on the Bay. Made a area fam trip across the Bay to Cape Charles. Had to check the channel dredging into Oyster Farm. I am not impressed, entire sections were not dredged and the channel is not marked properly.

Still very snotty on the Bay, but toughed it out to Hampton to get area fam for the new guys. Toured the Hampton River, up the James and into Newport News.
Choppy day out on the Bay. North/Northwest winds for the next several days.....yuck!
Nice, but chilly day here on the lower bay. Ran the oceanfront looking for an injured dolphin a citizen called about. Got to see whales, harbor seals and birds galore. The pelicans are as abundant as seagulls.
Weather cooperated today for 2nd and successful retrieval of vehicle. Even though comditions improved, the contractor still snapped a spud in half due to the swell.
Helping a citizen who became stranded due to a mechanical issue. Boat was towed for haul out.
First attempt at recovery. Again conditions were to unsafe. Crane was damage and dive boat could not moor to the barge. Spent the day reimaging the vehicle and enforcing a security zone around the scene.
Multiple hours on the water locating and attempting recovery of a victim from the VB oceanfront. Unfortunately conditions were not favorable.
On patrol. Low tide today, oyster cages high and dry.
