It's my Friday. Not very busy out, but patrolled as usual.
Century Club: Billy Hannigan
Taco Tuesday, thanks for the support Longboards. Patrolled the harbor today and was even stopped by Norfolk's finest.
Nice easy day after the long holiday weekend. Not sure if it was the hangovers, or the torrential downpours they kept the people off the order.
The last of our holiday 15 hour days. Fireworks duty off of Dcean Park tonite. Getting a little old for 15 hour days on the water..working.
Good amount of people out boating today, but not nearly as busy as the 4th. Bay was a little snotty, keeping most people on the inside.
28 years without a Fourth of July off. Gonna be a long weekend. Very busy on the water with our regular share of idiots. How do you make stupid? Just add water.
Rainy and stormy day. Appreciate the calls for the boat in distress from passing motorists for the properly anchored sailboat. We love responding priority in thunderstorms.
While underway today we observed a landing craft of the Dutch Marines come into Crab Creek. Seeing as we never saw a military landing craft pull up to the municipal ramp, we headed over for a gander. Seems they brought some personnel ashore and we're waiting on Sysco to reprovishion there ship. After conducting training with the U.S. Navy, they are now headed to Halifax to train with Canada. They are from the Dutch amphibious ship, Johann de Witt.
Got some busy work accomplished is the a m. before getting underway. Decided to take MAR4 boat out for a change. Ended up saving two young adventurerers that were drifting to Portugal after their PWC broke down. All in all, not a bad day. And I bought a new gun.
Very busy day on the water. The threat of impending thunderstorms did not keep people from enjoying their time on the water.
