Great foggy and rainy day to get some low visibility and radar training done. Had some friends hang out with me at the mouth of the bay.

Boarding operations.
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.

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.
