While visiting the Coast Guard with Rick Barden to look at a recently installed project, Bob got the grand tour from our troops guarding our coast line. Jeremiah (SK1) took Bob on the latest craft, which cost around 3 million dollars. This craft will do around 60 miles per hour and is used for sea rescue in the ocean under light sea conditions (defined as 10- to 15- foot swells). It has all of the latest technologies: for example, there are joy sticks for steering instead of a typical steering wheel. The boat has a crew of just 8 sailors. As you can see in the photo below, Bob had to be rescued by the gallant crew while taking the tour, but lo and behold, he came out high and dry!
