Attended the annual search and rescue forum in Hampton, VA put on by the Port of Virginia and the United States Coast Guard.   Great week of training and exercises ending with an active shooter scenario aboard the Spirit of Mount Vernon.   As always the port provided too notch training in real world situations that all agencies can take back to their departments to enhance their capabilities and provide benefits to the public.

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.
