My husband worked at sea for 30 years. It was not until he retired that I could bring myself to watch videos like these, for we were both all too aware of the dangers out there. What brought me great comforted each time he went to sea was knowing that these rescue teams were out there, trained and ready to go at a moments notice, if they were needed. Thank you from myself, my husband, and our kids!
Respect to your husband for doing it right and making it home.🙏

As a former US Coastguard ‘deckie’, I admire the layout of the”Abeille Bourbon”. For working towing hawsers in heavy seas that stern is well designed - open with high, clean rails to give as much safety to those at work. Beautiful boat. Good documentary and thank you.

@@thelthrythquezada8397 Great that you school arranged that field trip and I suppose good that you learned that one thing. USCG has plenty of billets on inland waters and navigation stations - all essential. I actually went to boot camp at age 26 -taking advantage just before cutoff. I’d done ‘high adventure’ work and fun before and as a free spirit I did not plan for a career in uniform. I was able to work above my pay grade at times and liked that. Open waters… no matter how calm, the first day out I was always queasy. But then got into it ; the more rough the better. Chow was good. As a Quaker, the Coast Guard appealed to me , adrenaline rush doing rescue with some real ‘I got your back’ moments. I miss that. Thanks for responding. Do well.
